What we do

The Explorer Franchise by Hays Travel offers a self-employed, work-from-home travel business opportunity. As a franchisee, you act as a travel consultant, helping customers plan, book, and manage their holidays, whilst building and growing your own client base under the trusted Explorer Franchise by Hays Travel brand.

What makes us different

What sets us apart is our combination of flexibility and support. You can run your business from home, choose your working hours, and build relationships with customers in a way that suits you. Backed by the UK’s largest independent travel agent, you benefit from brand recognition, competitive pricing, and access to exclusive deals, alongside award-winning training and ongoing business support.

Our ideal franchise partner

We look for motivated, customer-focused individuals with a passion for travel and a drive to succeed. You don’t need previous travel industry experience as full training is provided. Strong communication skills, self-discipline, and an entrepreneurial mindset are key to thriving in this role.

The franchise package

Franchisees receive comprehensive support at every stage of their journey. From initial onboarding and training to marketing tools, booking systems, and ongoing mentorship, we ensure you have everything you need to start and grow your business.
