Existing travel agents who start a Dream Vacations franchise receive free cruise

With limited availability, expert agents who join by June 30, 2018, will have the opportunity to attend Dream Vacations’ sold out 2018 Conference aboard Norwegian Bliss, free of charge. “We are confident that travel agents can take their business to the next level when they combine their expertise with our technology and resources,” said Debbie Fiorino, senior vice president of Dream Vacations. “We believe it is important to invest in your assets, and in our case, our most important asset is our network of franchise owners. We are continuously increasing our staff, making enhancements to existing programs and launching innovative programs and partnerships all for the benefit of our franchisees. We care more about our franchisees so they can care more about their clients. That is what we like to call the Dream Vacations difference.” Travel agency franchise owners with Dream Vacations have access to a plethora of programs that not only provide them with a competitive advantage, but also enables them to maximize their individual profits:

• Monetarily rewards more than six figures in bonuses above and beyond the normal commissions earned to travel agent franchisees at different sales levels.

Dream Vacations has seen a direct correlation between the support provided with franchisee success and satisfaction, which is why the home-based business opportunity had an 89 percent retention rate in 2017. “I departed my franchise to join CruiseOne (now Dream Vacations) because I had friends with CruiseOne who kept telling me how good the owners and management were to work with, that they are debt-free and that they treat franchise owners like their customers,” said Michael Sinn, Dream Vacations franchise owner in Lincoln, Neb. “The headquarters team are all professionals who really care that I am successful and they are ready to assist me if I ever need any help. They keep investing in the franchise network to help us grow our business. Since making the switch, my business has grown each year. Last year I did $1 million in sales, and this year looks even better. For anyone who has been successful as a travel agent and wants to take that success to another level, join Dream Vacations. I know I made a very wise decision.” When surveyed, 95 percent of Dream Vacations franchise owners would recommend the travel franchise to others.

Dream Vacations named the best among travel agency franchises and ranks more than 10 percent higher than its peers

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (February 19, 2018) – Franchise ownership satisfaction is above industry standards according to a Franchise Business Review survey of home-based travel agency franchise owners with Dream Vacations. Results reveal that Dream Vacations ranks more than 10 percent higher than its peers within the Travel and Hospitality Benchmark. As a result, Franchise Business Review named Dream Vacations “Best in Category.” “We don’t sell franchises, we award dream businesses to people who are passionate about travel and helping others,” said Debbie Fiorino, senior vice president of Dream Vacations. “The success of our franchisees is our number one priority; there is a direct correlation from the personal service our support team provides to the financial success of our franchisees. It also helps that we work in a fun industry, making this an enjoyable career for entrepreneurs.” Ninety-eight percent of those surveyed agreed that they enjoy operating their franchise. This is attributed to being passionate about their career and the ease in which they can conduct business. Dream Vacations provides cutting-edge technology making it possible for franchisees to work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Lainey Melnick, a Dream Vacations franchise owner in Austin, Texas said, “This is probably one of the biggest strengths of our network. Our initial training, conference and regional trainings are excellent and give us a great framework to building relationships. I'm still very close with my training class; we continually support each other to build our business and inspire each other to take on more responsibilities. The same is true for our local franchise owners. We make a real effort to work as partners and not as competitors to show each other respect and help build the brand so we can all benefit.” Survey results also revealed that 94 percent of participants would recommend the Dream Vacations travel agency franchise. The support provided by the headquarters staff begins with the franchise development team and continues through during franchise ownership with the corporate support team.

We are large enough to lead the industry, and small enough to care about each individual franchisee.”

New Innovations in 2017 Set Pace for Record-Breaking 2018

Cutting-edge technology solutions, fully-funded marketing programs and enhanced

training & support are just a few initiatives that sparked a banner 2017

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (January 11, 2018) – 2017 was a year of change and innovation at home-based travel agency franchises Dream Vacations and CruiseOne, and host agency Cruises Inc. that resulted in double-digit sales growth in cruise and land at years end. With the momentum of these new initiatives picking up speed, Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. are on pace for a record-breaking 2018. “Because we care more about the success of our independent agents and travel franchise owners, we make every decision and investment with their best interests in mind and how it will positively impact their bottom line,” said Debbie Fiorino, senior vice president of Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. Technology To be the technology leader in the travel agency business industry, Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. made a multi-million dollar investment in its IT team, resulting in the largest technology team and best support staff to agent ratio in travel franchising. The team nearly doubled in size within six months and the impact was felt immediately – with the development of tools which created time-saving efficiencies when dealing with bookings made directly with the cruise lines, while simultaneously developing cutting-edge solutions and best-in-class technology such as the Vacation Superhero Referral © program in collaboration with marketing. On the horizon are enhancements in booking resort vacations and upgrades to the group booking process, as well as a reimagined online vacation shopping experience unlike any other in the home-based travel agent franchise and host agency industries that will simplify promotions and improve the overall experience for consumers. Marketing Programs such as Loyalty Cruise Perks and the Vacation Superhero Referral program which are fully-funded by corporate headquarters enable agents to work smarter not harder in building their business. Since launching August 1, 2017, more than 3,000 existing customers returned from a cruise and re-booked as a result of Loyalty Cruise Perks, which rewards consumers for booking their next vacation while onboard or within 30 days of returning home. The first-of-its-kind in the travel agent industry, the Vacation Superhero Referral program makes it easy for a consumer to recommend their travel agent, and is revolutionizing how agents can leverage their friends and family to gain new customers. Referrals from this program have access to exclusive promotions, and when they book, their referring “Vacation Superhero” is rewarded with a gift card. Since launching less than 30 days ago, this program has experienced more than 300 referrals. Business Development In 2017 cruise industry veteran Saul Fonseca joined as Director of Sales to lead the Business Development team and propel the network of agents to reach new heights in their sales. As inspiration, they adopted a team mission statement – “Dedicated to the growth and success of

our customers.” To keep the momentum going and enhance the support provided, the Business Development team’s geographic territories were simplified. In addition, a new Business Development Manager was hired to solely work with new agents giving them more focused attention and putting them on the fast track to success. Training Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. agents are never alone and are highly engaged with each other and the headquarters team. More than 50 percent of agents traveled to an offsite learning experience in 2017. The first-of-its-kind Immersive Educational Series launched in 2017 and provided intimate in-person training summits on niche topics including groups, luxury and land. Sales increased across all three categories in 2017. Operations Groups business increased by nearly 15 percent in 2017, in large part due to the Groups Concierge program. The only one of its kind in travel franchising, this turn-key service complements group registration websites and has Groups Specialists handle all of the complexities that go into servicing and executing a group, like contract negotiation, data entry and closing sales. Survey results reveal a 100% Satisfaction with regard to Response Time, Issue Resolution & Overall Satisfaction. Philanthropy Giving back is a keystone of World Travel Holdings and its brands, whether it is raising money and granting wishes for signature charity Make-A-Wish®, building houses with Habitat for Humanity or making vacation and business dreams become reality for military veterans. In 2017, agents, franchise owners and the corporate Headquarters team donated nearly $115,000 or the equivalent of granting 11 wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. Dream Vacations gave away two dream vacations to military veterans and awarded five veterans with free franchises as part of the award-winning Operation Vetrepreneur program, which has given away a total of 30 free franchises since the program’s inception in 2012. 2017 was a banner year with Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. being recognized across the board in the cruise, franchise and business communities. Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line and Celebrity Cruises awarded the three brands with highest honors as best franchise/host partner, and the International Franchise Association awarded Dream Vacations as the only travel franchise with a five-star ranking and the gold Franchising Gives Back award for Operation Vetrepreneur. Military Times and Entrepreneur magazines also ranked Dream Vacations as the number one franchise for veterans. For the sixth and fourth consecutive years respectively, Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. were recognized as a Top Private Company by South Florida Business Journal and Florida Trend, as well as a Top Workplace by Workplace Dynamics and Sun Sentinel. In addition, the Southern Florida chapter of Make-A-Wish recognized Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. as the 2017 Corporation of the Year. “2017 was truly a year of collaboration, innovation and firsts, and the recognitions we received are testament to the fact that we care more about our agents and franchisees and their success,” added Fiorino. “It will be tough to top 2017, but I am confident in my team and know that 2018 will be a phenomenal year.” The companies are looking for individuals who are passionate about travel, helping others and are eager to go into business for themselves, but not by themselves.

Cruisers Win Big with Loyalty Cruise Perks from Dream Vacations

home-based travel agency’s loyalty program

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (August 1, 2017) – Home-based travel agency Dream Vacations A CruiseOne Company, which is part of World Travel Holdings, have reimagined its book onboard incentive by launching a robust loyalty rewards program — Loyalty Cruise Perks. Customers of Dream Vacations now have the option of selecting one of four future cruise perks including credit toward a shore excursion, Resort for a Day experience, onboard credit or hotel stay. “We recognize that acquiring a new customer costs about six to seven times more than retaining an existing one. With so many options to book travel nowadays, it is just as important if not more so, to express our gratitude and reward our loyal customers to keep them returning back to their travel agent,” said Rosemarie Reed, vice president of sales and marketing. “That is why our corporate headquarters is fully funding the new Loyalty Cruise Perks program, which enables our travel agents to give their repeat cruise customers the option of selecting a vacation benefit that fits their needs and enhances their next vacation experience. We are confident this program will be a win with customers who want more than the standard onboard credit, and appreciate being valued and recognized for their loyal business.” Cruisers must book a cruise vacation within 30 days of returning and sail within the next 18 months to be eligible. Loyalty Cruise Perks are combinable with the cruise lines’ book onboard promotions, providing even more value to consumers. “The new Loyalty Cruise Perks program gives us another way to reward our loyal clients, in addition to providing them with outstanding service and extensive product knowledge. This program demonstrates our desire to build ongoing relationships with our customers and handle all of their travel needs today, as well as into the future,” said Rick Tashjian, Dream Vacations franchise owner in Ashburn, Va. and co-chair of the sales & marketing committee. “Representatives from our travel agent franchise community worked closely with the corporate marketing and sales team to design this unique cruise loyalty program that meets all of our clients’ needs, and lets them choose their actual reward. We are proud that Dream Vacations and CruiseOne is the only travel agency franchise offering such a unique and robust Loyalty Program.” The sales and marketing team takes a personalized and innovative approach to growing each individual travel agency business within the Dream Vacations network. From an engaged team of business development managers to integrating technology with marketing resources and fully-funding more than $1 million on exclusive consumer promotions and lead generation, travel agents with Dream Vacations are positioned for success.
