What percentage of the trips you all book are cruises, and do you have any other specialties?

Hi Erin, between 75-80% of our trips booked are cruises and the remainder is land vacations. Our portfolio of preferred land and cruise partners give our agents the flexibility to specialize in the niche that works best for them.

Would it be in the best interest of a beginner travel agent to become part of a franchise or a host agent ? Why or why not?

Thanks for this great question! We offer both options, Dream Vacations franchise and Cruises, Inc. Business Opportunity. We have beginners in both brands and both have the marketing, training, technology and support you’ll need for success. We are owned by World Travel Holdings ( www.wth.com) so have unmatched clout and purchasing power in the travel industry. We would like to understand your objectives for your travel business as well as your investment budget and gather some additional information from you before making a recommendation. Please inquire at www.dreamvacationsfranchise.com and also at www.sellcruises.com Many thanks!
