The Next Generation Travel Agency
What makes it "Next Generation"?
The current generation of travel agencies provides products and services mainly focused on getting you "physically" from point A to point B and back as well as providing accommodations and maybe a unique experience in between. UNIGLOBE has over 30 years of experience in the travel agency business. In that time we have been innovators. We have developed sophisticated and complete travel agency services that fully cover every conceivable aspect of physical travel management. What’s next?
Combining “physical” travel service and “virtual” travel service in one agency business.
"Virtual" travel is simply the technology that allows people to meet and collaborate without being "physically" present (audio/telephone, web and video conferencing products and systems).
Your potential accounts are asking themselves this question; "Would a ‘virtual travel’ alternative like audio, web or video conferencing service save us money and provide a viable alternative to at least some of our presence requirements?" "Where can we go to get the full spectrum service we need for both our virtual and physical travel needs?"
Satisfying the Need
As a UNIGLOBE Corporate Agency Owner you will be the ONLY SINGLE SOURCE IN YOUR MARKET that can satisfy a company’s need for this full spectrum service. You and your sales team will sell local, small to medium sized businesses a unique Presence Service package that is just what they are looking for; an economical and managed approach to controlling their complete physical travel requirements as well as virtual alternatives…. Presence Management!
And you make money on all of it.
Why Choose UNIGLOBE?
A Real Business
This business is NOT home based, NOT an MLM and goes way beyond a traditional retail travel agency. It is a true B2B, white collar, sales operation focused on growth. Each account you acquire creates opportunities for ongoing or residual revenue. There is no limit to how big you can get.
30 Years of Brand Recognition
Founded by U. Gary Charlwood in 1979, with operations beginning in 1980, UNIGLOBE and its management team have been leaders in the industry for decades. In the 90's U. Gary Charlwood was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the International Franchise Association (IFA), and in 1998 became Chairman of that organization; the first non-American to hold that title. In 2008, he was inducted into the IFA Hall of Fame, joining luminaries like Ray Kroc, Fred DeLuca, Henry Block and many others.
We are local

Vision:

Initial orientation and training sessions are in person and include you and your initial employees. Subsequent training sessions will be conducted on-line, with in-person sessions being conducted where and when sufficient trainees can be gathered.
