Our Proven Track Record of Success
Travel Leaders Franchise Group can trace its beginnings to 1984 as the franchise system“Ask Mr. Foster Travel“ — North America’s first travel agency chain established in 1888. We were part of Carlson Companies until January of 2008, when a management buyout of Carlson Leisure Group was led by our current Chairman, Michael Batt. Since that time we have experienced unprecedented growth that has led to us being recognized by Entrepreneur, Business Travel News, and Travel Weekly magazines, and others as the top network of travel agencies in North America.
Travel Leaders Franchise Group is a part of Travel Leaders Group. With more than $18 billion in combined annual sales and over 6,000 locations, we have the leverage and buying power to negotiate the travel industry’s top earnings opportunities, the largest amount of supplier marketing funds, great discounts, and top amenities for our Associates and their valued clients. |
