Franchise celebrates 7% growth year-on-year as Middle East division prepares to host annual agents awards
Travel Counsellors has welcomed 297 business owners in the past year, representing 7% growth year-on-year and taking the total number of homeworkers worldwide to 2,121, the company reported last month.
Of the 297 recruits in the past 12 months, more than 100 were new to the travel industry.
Matt Harding (pictured), Director of Franchise Sales at Travel Counsellors, said: “We look forward to seeing how our travel counsellors continue to innovate and succeed together, and we are excited to help even more entrepreneurs launch their businesses with us in the year ahead.”
Travel Counsellors operates across the UAE, the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and South Africa.
The company said its recruitment growth coincided with the ongoing investment in homeworkers’ personal development. Over the past year, 330 agents had taken part in dedicated training sessions designed to explore new business opportunities and strategies for success.
