Why choose the travel industry?

Demand for Overseas Travel is on the Up!

The number of adults intending to holiday abroad this year has increased in the past six months (Jun-Dec ’09), according to new research.

A YouGov poll for First Rate Exchange Services undertaken in November 2009 shows 58% of British adults are planning go overseas this year, compared with 54% who were asked the same question in July 2009. A further 22% are still considering their travel options.

The 18-24 age group is the most likely to embark on international travel, with 64% going on holiday in 2010. In contrast only 54% of 35-44 year olds will definitely take an overseas holiday, although 24% say they have still to decide.

What Are My Options?

Home Working

Over 80% of our members start their new business from home to reduce their initial start up costs. This also helps the work life balance while are developing your business. Some members then decide to move to a call centre or shop and employ staff but it’s up to you whether you want to grow and develop or stay at home.

The choice is yours - it is your brand and your business. Our home office based members run their business in anything from a spare room or study to a converted garage. As long as the area has or can have a phone line and space for a desk then it's fine!

One popular question is always "How much can I earn?"

Well, that depends on you and factors such as how many hours you work, how much you advertise and what you sell. A typical turnover would be around £360,000 but home based businesses have exceeded over double that in past years.

Retail Shop

If you have always wished to open your own travel agency shop then we can help you. Many members of The Global Travel Group run very successful shops benefiting from fantastic commercial terms with all major tour operators enabling them to compete with other high street agencies. The Global Travel Group allows you to do what many agencies can not and that is use the ATOL license to package your own holidays, enabling you to offer your clients more choice and flexibility with greater earning potential for yourself.

For retail shops we provide regular posters, window cards and other marketing initiatives with fantastic exclusive deals and other offers relevant to the current month. Our Business Development Managers will also be on hand to help you get the most from your shop, assisting you with look and feel for a professional, attractive image.

This is your own business to grow and your own brand to build. We will help and assist you but we will not tell you what to do as it is your business and not ours.

Office or Call Centre

A popular way to start a travel business is to set up your own call centre. The more people you employ the larger your potential earnings. An office can represent a lower cost option than a shop.

Call centres typically market themselves via websites, teletext and newspapers, which can provide a high call volume. This coupled with your knowledge and expertise can result in excellent conversion rates.

The Global Travel Group can provide you with everything you need to start a call centre business and our award winning IT department will help with all your needs.

Call centre turnovers depend on size and again marketing. Our largest call centres turn over in excess of 20 million pound per annum receiving weekly commissions in excess of £100,000

Training for yourself and a member of your staff is included in the start-up price.
