About Us

Travelosophers is the new luxury franchise concept taking the travel industry by storm. Our aim is to create a close-knit family of exceptional travel professionals who are able to create beautiful and tailored holiday memories for our mutual clients by truly understanding their travel philosophy.

Passion for Travel

We love travel and all our head office staff are indeed travel people, but we also provide you with business support and business strategy – after all, this is your business. Our family approach means that our franchisees are much more than just business partners. We enjoy supporting and helping you grow both in business but also helping you in achieving a better work-life balance. Our approach, our philosophy, is always holistic and always tailored to an individual’s needs.

Our Roots

Whilst Travelosophers is a newly formed company, it does have deep roots in the travel industry. The business is aligned with the award-winning Cyplon Holidays, an industry stalwart, that has been trading since 1972. The Cyplon family spans over 3 generations and the partnership gives Travelosophers an immediate foothold in the marketplace as well as strong financial backing and investment.

Our Values

Our values are very much based on service excellence, care, reliability, expertise, knowledge and quality. Not just anyone can be a Travelosopher. You must have a real passion for travel, regardless of your professional experience, and you must demonstrate the desire and the hunger to succeed in the world of business. We encourage creativity and innovation too, and we will rely on our Travelsophers to push us too. As a Travelosopher you will enjoy the true meaning of the word partnership and we take great pleasure in supporting our Travelosphers every step of the way.

What is a Travelosopher?

A Travelosopher is a critical thinker and clear communicator, they are a smart and knowledgeable analyser of the underlying motivations for travel and the associated desires; they use their skills to understand the language people use to describe the world, and their place within it, and to nurture and help them cultivate their own Travel Philosophies for each and every journey they take within the different areas of travel philosophy being distinguished by the questions that they ask. Once the Travelosophy is defined, they are able to guide their clients and bring their philosophies to life by creating indelible holiday memories.

Travel Weekly – Homeworking Agency of the Year

We were crowned the Best Small Homeworking Agency of the Year at the prestigious Travel Weekly Agent Achievement Awards.

Awesome Training and support! I’ve just finished my training with Travelosophers. The training was all virtual which was super convenient and there is a massive amount of information to take on board. But it was all done in a fun way and with lots of interaction. It gave me insight into the systems used, as well as tips for selling your business to customers and much more. I’m now ready to start my journey as a Travelosopher.

Chris Bisson

Franchisee

Being new to home working, I had no hesitation in choosing Travelosophers over all the other home working companies on offer. Having worked in travel for almost 40 years, I have known both Steph and Nisha for a number of years and they most certainly have done what they promised. The support network is amazing – someone is always there if you need them. The technology and booking system is really well thought out, so all I need to do is sell !! I hope you will come and join our great team!
