Our Business Model

We've seen consecutive double-digit growth every year since opening in the UAE office in 2012, providing comprehensive financial protection for your customers, and 360° wrap-around support for you.

How it works

We work in partnership with you. You’ll be a self-employed franchise holder arranging bespoke travel experiences for your customer. You’ll earn money from commission on all the travel services you sell.
That commission is then split 60/40 with us. 60% for you; 40% for us. For that 40%, we’ll provide you with unrivalled support and continuous investment in your business.
Although we are a commission-based business, we champion superb customer experience and service above all else. So where two holidays exist, one better for the customer and one better for your pocket, your priority will be what’s right for the customer.
Joining Travel Counsellors will give you the opportunity to be part of a unique global travel company. Are you ready to be part of the next step in our incredible journey?

Trusted Travel

When it comes to travel, it’s important to know you’re booking with someone you can trust. As a company that truly cares, we place trust at the centre of everything we do. Our business model is built on establishing trusted personal relationships with our all of customers, whether that’s our leisure holidaymakers or our business travellers.

We underpin our unique personal service with our own extensive financial protection for customers. As well as the reassurance that work in partnership with thousands of hand-picked suppliers and trusted travel providers around the globe to ensure our customers receive the highest possible levels of protection, care, support and service wherever and whenever they travel with us.
