Lifestyle Trend: Not Just Travel named Best Lifestyle Franchise a second time You Should Know

Not Just Travel’s recruitment brand The Travel Franchise has been named Best Lifestyle Franchise in the World for the second year running at the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) Global Franchise Awards.

Not Just Travel is the only UK company to have won the award, which is voted on by franchise experts around the world.

It currently supports a network of more than 750 home-based travel consultants.

The Global Franchise Awards are organised annually by the IFA, the world’s largest franchising organisation, of which The Travel Franchise is a member.

Not Just Travel co-founder Paul Harrison said: “The IFA Global Franchise Awards are the Oscars of our industry, so to win for the second year in a row is an extraordinary achievement.

“Winners are selected by an independent panel of international industry figures. For a UK-only company to be recognised on a global stage, ahead of franchises from much larger markets, tells you everything about the quality of what we have built here.”

Fellow co-founder Steve Witt added: “Winning this award is not down to luck but is the result of our constant reinvestment in our consultants, technology and training. Our entire model is built on helping our consultants to succeed; as a result, our whole business benefits and sales soar. These results are proof of that commitment.”

The IFA’s judging panel assessed a range of criteria, including business model strength, franchisee support, flexibility, and the ability to help individuals build profitable businesses.

Not Just Travel said its ‘unique model, which allows consultants from outside the travel industry to build highly successful businesses while enjoying flexible lifestyles, work from home or anywhere in the world’, was highlighted as a key differentiator.

It said its ‘track record of transforming countless people’s lifestyles for the better’ was also highlighted.
