 UNIGLOBE operates under a master-franchising plan in which UNIGLOBE International is the owner of all rights, trademarks, and systems of the UNIGLOBE program. As the master franchisor, UNIGLOBE International is responsible for the awarding and developing of UNIGLOBE regions worldwide.
UNIGLOBE is designed to build the profitability of new and existing independent travel agencies. Franchisees benefit from a common image, professional development, training, and ongoing support services. Each franchise is independently owned and operated, enabling it to more closely identify and work with the community it services.
There are three functional areas of activity in a Regional operation:
- Marketing and sale of franchises to existing agencies, or in some cases to individuals wishing to get into the travel business.
_
- Support and services to those agencies, helping bring them on stream and then supporting them to ensure that they are focusing their energies and resources behind the activities necessary to build a successful business.
_
- Administration and financial management in support of the other activities to ensure a smooth running, well oiled operation, and of course a profitable Region.
