Sales.Travel franchise

ISIgor SedovUpdated 14 May 20266 min read7 460 read

A turnkey business — the Sales.Travel franchise lets you open a travel agency under our brand and build on proven technology, live inventory, training and team support instead of starting from scratch.

In short

A franchise means opening a location under the Sales.Travel brand with access to the booking platform, inventory of flights, hotels and tours, brand identity, training and a dedicated manager. Terms and the document package are individual: see the franchise page and discuss the details with a manager at 8 800 1000-646.

01 / What it isWhat the franchise includes

The Sales.Travel franchise is a programme, not a one-off purchase. You get the right to operate under the brand plus the toolkit a travel agency typically needs to start selling from day one. The exact package can vary by location format and region — the final list is set out in the contract.

  • Brand and identity — corporate style, signage, material templates.
  • Technology — access to the booking platform and partner dashboard.
  • Inventory — flights, hotels, tours and related services.
  • Training — a starter course for managers and regular updates.
  • Support — a personal manager and help with complex requests.

04 / TermsCost and what to factor in

The entry fee, recurring payments and location requirements depend on the format and region, so there is no single public figure. We work out the terms individually and fix them in the contract — that is more honest than quoting an "average" number that may not fit your case. Always confirm the current terms with a manager.

Be wary of "exact" figures from third partiesLump-sum fees and royalty figures published elsewhere may be out of date or simply wrong. The official terms come only from /franchise and from your Sales.Travel manager.

05 / SupportLife after launch

You are not on your ownAfter you open, you keep a dedicated manager, ongoing inventory and tech updates, marketing materials and help with non-standard requests. Day-to-day operations run through your dashboard, and quick questions are easy to settle in @sales_travel_bot.

06 / FAQFrequently asked

How is the franchise different from the partner programme?

The franchise is a branded Sales.Travel location with technology and contractual obligations. The partner programme is lighter agency cooperation on commission, without operating under our brand.

Do I need travel experience?

Not necessarily. The starter training and ready-made processes are designed with newcomers in mind too, though existing agencies usually transition more easily.

How much does it cost to open?

There is no single public figure: the terms depend on the format and region and are calculated individually. Check the /franchise page and ask a manager.

How do I get the conversation started?

Submit a request at /franchise or call 8 800 1000-646 — a manager will get in touch and help you pick a format.
