What does a travel agency franchise cost to open? Less than most hospitality concepts. Home-based travel agency and travel-host franchises can start for well under $50K, while hotel and larger hospitality brands sit at the opposite end, requiring real estate, financing, and multimillion-dollar development. Browse FDDs across travel agency, hospitality, and lodging brands to compare travel franchise opportunities side by side. Few categories spread this wide, so decide which business you are actually in: a home-based travel-booking agency with almost no overhead, or a hotel that is a real-estate and financing project first. Then compare each brand's start-up cost, royalty, and Item 19 revenue in the table below.
