Advantage Travel Partnership has launched a mentorship programme giving newcomers to the industry the opportunity to be paired with experienced members to help grow their homeworking businesses.
Five Advantage members – The Good Travel Franchise, Whites Travel, New Travel, Worldwide Travel Solutions and The Holiday Fixer – will act as mentors under the scheme, called the Hosted Agent Programme.
They will offer support on business infrastructure, trading licenses, customer fund protection, marketing and technology tools.
Head of Business Development David Moon said: “We’re constantly approached by individuals eager to establish homeworking travel businesses but lacking industry experience.
“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.
“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.”
