About the Luxury Travel Franchise

The Luxury Travel Franchise is a premier opportunity part of the Aquilium Travel Group, a specialist organization dedicated to the art of high-end travel. Operating through unique brands such as The Travel Directors and The Travel Managers, the group understands the specific needs of discerning clientele who seek more than just a holiday—they seek a bespoke experience.

This franchise allows you to tap into the glamour and adventure of the travel industry, helping clients create lifelong memories. Whether you are looking for a career change or a way to monetise your passion for globetrotting, this model provides the framework to build a lucrative, professional travel agency from your own home.

The Business Opportunity

As a franchisee, you will benefit from the significant buying power of a large organization while maintaining the personal touch of a boutique agency. The group is a member of the Co-operative Travel Consortium, providing a multimillion-pound turnover backbone and access to over 500 global suppliers. This relationship ensures you have the commercial advantage of industry-leading commission rates and exclusive terms.

Importantly, your business is fully ABTA and ATOL protected, offering your clients the financial security and peace of mind necessary when booking luxury high-ticket itineraries.

Training and Support

You do not need a background in travel to succeed here. The Aquilium Academy provides one of the most extensive training programs in the sector. You will be guided through the complexities of travel regulations, booking systems, and luxury supplier relations. Ongoing support is provided to ensure you stay ahead of travel trends and maintain the high standards expected by luxury travellers.

Your Role

Your primary focus will be on relationship building and bespoke itinerary planning. Successful franchisees are those who are passionate about travel and committed to delivering high-level customer service. Your day-to-day will involve:

  • Networking and building a loyal client base.
  • Consulting with clients to understand their dream travel requirements.
  • Liaising with over 500 suppliers to curate unique holiday packages.
  • Managing your own schedule and business growth.

Why Choose Luxury Travel?

Unlike high-street travel agents, this franchise focuses on a lucrative niche market. Luxury travellers demand expertise, discretion, and attention to detail. By positioning yourself as a luxury specialist, you move away from price-driven competition and focus on value-driven, high-commission bookings. The flexibility to work from home and choose your own hours makes this an ideal choice for those seeking a better work-life balance.
