Your Own Independent Business
When you join The Global Travel Group you become a member of one of the largest groups of independent travel agents in the UK. The Global Travel Group is different to other franchises as you do not take our name and you are not limited to a geographical area - you are quite simply your own business branded and grown in your own way. The Global Travel Group provides all the backup, support, licences, training and experience to help you grow that business.
Group ATOL Licence
This is probably the most important tool in today's developing travel market. The Group ATOL protects the client's holiday in conjunction with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). 
An ATOL licence allows you to package your own holidays as a fully bonded and protected product setting your own price and margins. This means that your clients can book with you traditional package holidays or ones tailored exactly to their own requirements.
Dynamic Packaging
This is the ability to package your own holidays, setting your own prices and margins using the Group ATOL licence. It gives you a unique, tailored, highly profitable, flexible and fully protected product that is not available anywhere else - this has proved to be the cornerstone to many of our member's businesses.
Customer Protection Guarantee
The Group ATOL is just one part of the bonding and protection travel agents require and customers need. The Global Travel Group also fulfils another important requirement in the form of our "Customer Protection Guarantee Scheme". This protects your client's funds in a trust account and is the equivalent of an ABTA bond. This means in the unlikely event of an agent or The Global Travel Group failing, the client's money is safe and will be paid to the operator as normal.
Positive Cash Flow
There are not many business opportunities where you can earn money before delivering a product. Likewise it is unlikely that you can sell things you have not paid for. As a member of The Global Travel Group you can do both due to the fact that there is massive selection of holidays readily available to sell but you have not had to incur any outlay beforehand. This is a fantastic advantage to your new business leaving you with available cash for marketing and advertising together with giving your business a positive cash flow.
Market Leading Equipment
As part of your membership package you will receive A-List hardware; including a flat screen monitor, CPU, keyboard, printer and full support package. The software support includes installation, antivirus upgrades, maintenance and repair. Our software is award winning and the jewel in our crown! Our exclusive state of the art holiday search tool, intranet and web solutions will give your blossoming business a key competitive edge.
