Eden Prairie, MN February 25, 2011 - Travel franchise opportunities are at the top of the list of most travel franchises in today’s market. This is especially true for Americans as the travel industry faces a rising demand for cruise travel bookings. The billion dollar, cruise travel business is busier than ever as travelers call on travel agencies for expert advice and bookings instead of making their travel plans on their own.

It is estimated that within the next three years, about 50 million North Americans plan to take a cruise vacation, according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). The future of the cruise industry is expected to remain highly lucrative since more and more people prefer vacationing on the seas. By 2012, thirty seven new ships around the world will have been built. All of this has led to the rise in demand for travel businesses. Cruising is currently considered to be the fastest growing segment in the travel business, and so, agencies promoting cruise travel have the potential to bring in huge profits. If you have ever had a desire to launch a career with a travel agency franchise, then this is the perfect time for you!

Before you start your own travel agency franchise, begin researching the hundreds of travel agencies that focus on cruise travel, and concentrate on those that offer the best franchise businesses. Compare their special features, the benefits they may offer to their franchisees, and how they are better than the others. Look for travel franchise businesses that offer industry leading tools and resources that are necessary to start a travel agency. Be sure they are one of the top travel groups. Find out how much revenue they bring in per year.

You will also want a company that promises to guide you along in all the areas of your future franchise business. Make sure the travel franchise will give you extensive training, and periodic follow up seminars. Most importantly, find a company that offers their franchisees daily support for unexpected problems. At this point, your research results will reveal that a Cruise Holidays franchise is at the top of your list.

Another good point is it’s not necessary to rent an office in the city for your travel agency. You can even work from your home, and keep your travel agency’s overhead costs down. A home travel business is a wonderful way to launch a new career, and be able to stay close to the family.
