Why A Franchise?

Franchising has proven to be one of the most powerful economic forces in the world. There are over 600,000 franchised outlets in North America alone, representing one third of all retail sales. Furthermore, 92% of franchise businesses pass the critical first five years - a success rate nearly four times higher than independent businesses.

Franchise Partners enjoy the satisfaction and rewards of independent business ownership combined with the power of an established brand name and the support of a larger corporate enterprise.

Home-based Franchise Partners enjoy all of the marketing and technology of a retail center. Plus, with Expedia CruiseShipCenters you can leverage the power of CruiseDesk® to grow your home-based travel business by acting as a "host agency" to other home-based travel consultants.
