MIKE HANLON, WILMINGTON, NCAfter retiring from the U.S. Army, I was in search of a second career. I am a stay-at-home dad and wanted something that would allow me to maintain my time with my daughters. When searching for veteran-friendly franchise opportunities, I quickly learned that Dream Vacations is where I needed to be. One of the main reasons I bought my franchise was the amount of support given to those of us that are veterans.

OUR FRANCHISEES HAVE SOMETHING TO SAYHear directly from our franchisees firsthand on

their experience diving into this business opportunity

as part of the Dream Vacations family.

BERMARI RODRIGUEZ, ORLANDO, FLI have found success in following my passion and selling what I love—travel! Attending the training opportunities is extremely valuable and has contributed to my success. It has given me the chance to learn, ask questions and network. I believe that to be really good at what you do, you have to personally experience the products. Luckily, owning a Dream Vacations travel agency franchise gives me the freedom to work from anywhere in the world and travel at discounted rates.

RON BEVERLY SR., NORTH WALES, PAMy military career of nearly 32 years was a great foundation for the high adventures in becoming a Dream Vacations franchisee. The harmonious transition from military to business owner was made easy through the network of professionals I encountered while pursuing this opportunity. Being in the military and being away from my family for so long, I wanted a business where I could work from home.

KAREN QUINN-PANZER, MILFORD, CTHaving owned two businesses, I can truly attest that the franchise model Dream Vacations provides is THE BEST way to be in business for yourself. You can have the flexibility of a small business owner and the benefit of substantial support from the company in terms of marketing and technical support. This saves us a lot of time, effort and expense.
