Advantage says that this innovative initiative addresses the growing demand for flexible career opportunities in travel by creating strategic partnerships between aspiring entrepreneurs and established Advantage members.
The programme eliminates traditional barriers to entry by providing those new to travel with a comprehensive business infrastructure, including essential trading licenses, robust marketing support, cutting-edge technology platforms, and secure customer fund protection facilities—all under the guidance of experienced industry mentors.
Commenting on the launch, David Moon, Head of Business Development, said:
“Our industry is not only undergoing unprecedented transformation with the homeworking market experiencing remarkable growth, but our members are also thriving and expanding, which has inspired us to develop this exciting concept that connects passionate newcomers with seasoned professionals.
“We’re creating mutually beneficial commercial partnerships that represent a true win-win scenario for everyone involved.”
The programme builds upon Advantage’s existing reach in the homeworking sector, where member agencies already support over 300 remote travel consultants across the UK.
“This new initiative is expected to significantly accelerate this growth whilst maintaining the high standards of service and support that define the Advantage Travel Partnership membership model.
“We’re constantly approached by individuals eager to establish homeworking travel businesses but lacking industry experience,” Moon explained.
“Our Hosted Agent Programme creates the perfect solution by matching these entrepreneurial enquiries with the ideal member partners who can provide the mentorship, training and ongoing support needed for sustainable success.”
The programme recognises that whilst passion for travel is essential, business acumen and industry knowledge are equally critical for long-term success.
By pairing newcomers with established operators, the initiative ensures that fresh talent receives comprehensive guidance while experienced members gain access to motivated partners who can help expand their reach and capabilities.
The programme launches with five distinguished Advantage members, including: The Good Travel Franchise, Whites Travel, New Travel, Worldwide Travel Solutions and The Holiday Fixer.
“We believe that travel is not a hobby or a side hustle; it is a profession that is deep-rooted in years of hard-earned experience and deep industry expertise.
“These founding partners bring decades of combined experience and a deep commitment to supporting those new to the industry, positioning them perfectly to mentor the next generation of travel entrepreneurs,” continued Moon.
“As the travel industry continues to evolve, initiatives like the Hosted Agent Programme demonstrate our adaptability and commitment to nurturing talent whilst maintaining the personalised service that defines professional travel consultation.”
