Investing in a franchise is a big commitment, but it’s also one of the best ways to become your own boss. When researching a franchise for sale, it’s important that you connect with the company on its values and culture. Owning a vacation franchise is one of the most flexible options, and is perfect for the budding entrepreneur thanks to its low entry cost.
Dream Vacations was named the Top Low-Cost Franchise and the #1 ranked Travel Agency Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine in 2025, and we’re one of the nation’s largest leisure travel companies. We believe that the travel industry is one of the best franchises worth pursuing!
Low-Cost Entry
Dream Vacations has a low cost of entry, requiring a one-time initial investment fee. There are no hidden costs or fees down the line—pay the initial investment of $10,500 for as little as $3,500 down. We also offer additional discounts to U.S. veterans, first responders, medical professionals, educators and experienced travel and hospitality professionals.
One of the benefits of owning a travel agency is that there are limited overhead costs since all our Franchise Owners work from home. You’ll have the flexibility to turn your house – or anywhere with an internet connection – into your office. We also offer the highest-tier commission in the industry, allowing Franchise Owners to keep the profits they make from every vacation sale.
Freedom and Flexibility
For many, owning your own franchise allows you to realize the dream of becoming your own boss. Dream Vacations franchises are independently owned and operated, where each Franchise Owner oversees their own business. When you work from home, you can set what hours you work. This flexibility is ideal for stay-at-home parents, retirees, veterans or those looking to quit that 9-5 mentality. Our Franchise Owners feel empowered by creating their personal success in a way that works with their schedule.
Ongoing Corporate Support
One of the biggest hurdles for new business owners is the amount of work and research that goes into launching a new business. No travel or franchise experience is necessary to become a travel agent from home, and we provide all the necessary training and tools you may need, providing ongoing in-person training as well as 24/7 virtual support. You get access to our lead generation programs to help you find new customers, as well as marketing help to help you reach new audiences through social media and your website. You’ll always have a growing database of customers and the most up-to-date information every step of the way.
Free and Discounted Travel
A travel agency is one of the best franchises to own and you’ll go on your own incredible vacations! With more than 30 years in the business, Dream Vacations has an extensive network of travel partners that provide amazing deals and getaways for not only your customers to enjoy, but for you to also set out on vacation. We believe it’s essential for our Franchise Owners to get hands-on learning, which is why we provide “familiarization trips” (affectionately known as FAM trips) to help you become familiar with the cruises, resorts and experiences you’re selling.
Community is an important part of being a Dream Vacations Franchise Owner, as we have a network and family for travel lovers to connect. Attend summits, conferences, and regional training events to learn more about the industry and how to find success, while also getting the chance to mingle with fellow Franchise Owners.
