• Must have capital totaling $25,000.00 to $50,000.00 to acquire ARC/IATAN approval.
  
• Must have a high salaried full time manager with at least two years experience as a retail travel agent.
  
• Franchise purchase cost that start at $25,000.00 on average and franchise fees based on your production. High volume agents pay higher fees then the lower producing agents. For franchises it will require all of the above, lease, bond, and working capital.
