Why Franchise?

The travel & tourism industry, although in a continual state of flux given the necessary mergers and acquisitions, has never been stronger. The consumer continues to travel far and wide using every possible mode of transportation and visiting every country that allows visitors.

Hotels continue to be built, more cruise ships are due, new types of tours and vacations are being developed, countries that were closed to visitors are now embracing tourism and the majority of countries have now generated multi-million dollar campaigns to market their destinations worldwide. All of this activity means jobs. The WTO - World Tourism Organization - stated in 1997 that over one-hundred million new jobs would be created in the global tourism industry between 'now' and the year 2010. Over 500,000 of those jobs would be in Canada.

The franchising industry has also continued a tremendous growth and many travel trade corporations have used the concept of franchising to grow their businesses. These are companies such as Best Western, Sheraton, Budget Rent a Car, Uniglobe, Kloster Cruise Lines, American Express, Carlson Wagonlit, Thomas Cook and many, many more.

TTI is well positioned to begin its franchise operations in 2001. The company has successful TTI locations, a talented team of educators and travel industry professionals at the helm and a solid reputation amongst TTI students to validate the training they received.

The TTI franchise system will offer the following investment opportunities:

• Master Franchises - for overseas development / expansion
• Franchises - Start-up, Conversion and Associate programs available

The Licensing of Product

TTI also makes its training curriculum available for licensing to qualified existing tourism schools. Ongoing curriculum updates and electronic access ensure that instructors and students are getting current and up-to-date materials.
