Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The 44^th annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500^®is a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry. Recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, the 2023 Franchise 500^®ranks Dream Vacations as number one in the travel category and 67 across all industries for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

Costs and fees
Size and growth
Support
Brand strength
Financial strength and stability

Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500^® in ranking order.

“Our inclusion on the Franchise 500^® list is always an honor, but this year’s ranking is especially fulfilling since we were ranked first in our category for the second year in a row,” said Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager of Dream Vacations. “These metrics highlight the success of Dream Vacations franchise owners and the financial stability of our parent company, World Travel Holdings. We continue to expand our team as the network continues to grow year after year. We had a great year in recruitment in 2022, demonstrating that people are hungry to join the fun travel industry and want to be associated with a brand that offers a variety of vacation experiences. In addition, there is an incredible pent-up demand for travel, and consumers understand the value of travel advisors, making it the perfect time to affiliate with a trusted agency franchise that can help grow your business.”

Dream Vacations has always prided itself on the support it provides to its travel agency franchise owners, and during the last few years the franchisor has doubled down on its efforts. From investing millions in funding commercial loans and hosting industry-wide training events to creating new technology tools and marketing assets, Dream Vacations is committed to the success of its network and has proven to be a business opportunity that can withstand the test of time.
