Welcome to Travel Counsellors
We are Travel Counsellors, and we’re number 12 in the BTN’s Top 50 UK-based TMCs. We empower entrepreneurial people with a passion for providing exceptional customer service to run their own businesses and create a future without restrictions.
Above all else, we put people at the heart of everything we do – whether that’s our business clients, or you as a franchisee. We give you the tools, technology and support you need to grow your business, your way, while being part of a company that truly cares. Did you know that 97% of Travel Counsellors say they love being part of our inclusive community?
At Travel Counsellors, you’re free to be authentically you. No aliases. No hiding your true self. Your uniqueness is what makes your business, well, unique.
As a Corporate Travel Counsellor, you’ll have access to our world-class product portfolio via Galileo, Phenix, our in-house digital technology platform, and the myTC app. You'll also have access to our state-of-the-art travel data management tool, myTC Insights, as well as myTC Online - a self-booking tool which will free up your time to work on your clients' more complex requests.
All of these are complemented by a suite of MI reporting tools and analytics to monitor your business performance. Naturally, you’ll also have access to competitive fares from a full inventory of suppliers.

Why choose us?
We’re independent - our focus is you
We’re the only major travel franchisor in the UK devoted entirely to travel franchising! The continuous investment in our platform and support model that enables our business owners to flourish is the sole focus of the business – and our record sales growth is a testament to this. We don’t have a parent company. We don’t have retail stores which could compete with your business. Simply put, we’re not successful until you are.
Credibility money can buy
Our unique industry standing is a powerful ally as you set up your franchise. You’ll also be able to draw on the expertise of over 2,000 Travel Counsellors all around the world.
Financial protection
It’s reassuring to know that everything you book with Travel Counsellors is financially protected, thanks to our unique Travel Trust. This unrivalled level of cover holds your customers’ money in reserve, and only releases it to the supplier once they have travelled.
Uncapped earnings
You’ll earn money on every travel product and service you sell. You’ll keep 60% of the commission, while we take the remaining 40%. For that 40%, we’ll provide all the support you need to run a successful travel business.
Best of all, your earnings are completely uncapped - so the sky really is the limit. You’re in complete control of your earning potential, so you get out what you put in. Sell what’s right for your customers, with no sales targets to hit.
The technology to deliver, now and in the future
We constantly invest in our tech, meaning you have access to the best and latest tools in the industry - including Smart Point GAL, Phenix (our in-house booking platform), myTC Online (a self-booking tool for straightforward trips), and myTC Insights (our clever data and analytics tool that will help to shape your clients' business travel programme).
Best-in-class training
We’ll give you all the industry-leading training you need, not just to get your business off the ground, but on a continuous basis. We can also tailor training based on your skills gaps and business goals.
Developing you and your business
In addition to training, you will also be assigned to an ILM-qualified business coach to help increase your skills and confidence. New Travel Counsellors are also given a mentor for the first six months of their journey.
Clear communication
Daily TV broadcasts keep you in the know with what’s going on, both in the industry and within the Travel Counsellors community. We also offer webinars and digital communication platforms to help you stay connected and informed.
