“Travel Counsellors felt just right” - how Parul knew we were the right travel franchise for her

When Parul Bhatt decided to take a new direction in her career, she knew exactly where her heart was leading her — to the world of travel. Parul, who previously ran her own bookkeeping business, had always harboured a passion for travel, fuelled by her years of experience in the airline industry. The idea of combining her love for travel with running her own business felt like a perfect match. But finding the right platform to make that transition was key.

Taking the first step

Parul recalls the moment everything clicked into place. After speaking with an existing Travel Counsellor who couldn’t stop raving about the company, she felt an undeniable pull toward the opportunity. "It was everything," she shared. "The support, the systems, the products… it all resonated with me.” For Parul, it wasn’t just about starting a business; it was about finding a model that aligned with her values. She loved the personal touch that Travel Counsellors offer their customers, the care and attention in crafting bespoke itineraries, and the strong sense of support from the community.

The power of a gut feeling

Unlike others who might carefully compare options or weigh up multiple franchises, Parul didn’t feel the need to explore alternatives. “Travel Counsellors just felt right for me,” she explains. “It aligns perfectly with my ethics and the way I prefer to work with my clients. That personalisation and care is what sets it apart. Plus, the hand-holding and support are incredible — I’ve never felt like I’m on my own. I’ve since looked at other franchises, and I know I’ve made the right decision."

Despite taking a significant step into a new industry, Parul experienced surprisingly little apprehension. Instead, there was a feeling of being naturally swept in the right direction. "It was like this huge wave just pushed me there. I can’t explain it!" she laughs. Her love for travel and her positive memories from the airline industry helped her believe this was the path she was meant to take. Her only slight concern was whether she would be able to find clients, but as someone already familiar with self-employment, she was confident she could rise to the challenge.

A seamless experience from the start

From the start, Parul found the experience with Travel Counsellors seamless. Recruitment and induction were handled with precision, clear communication, and prompt support. "Everything was so easy, with detailed information at every stage," Parul says.

Now, as she sets out on this exciting new chapter, Parul is most looking forward to the impact she can create. “I can’t wait to help people make precious memories by planning incredible itineraries tailored just for them. And being part of the Travel Counsellors community is the icing on the cake.”
