Mikaela Walker
Dream Vacations
Orlando, FL
Franchise Owner Since 2011
What was it about the franchise model and/or
leadership that led you to purchase it? I liked
the amount of training and support that Dream
Vacations was providing. While I had a business
background, and I had a lot of personal travel
under my belt, I didn’t have the first idea of how
to run a travel business. After the week of live
training, I felt much more comfortable with being
an agent and my ability to book cruises. If I had a
question, I could call Support Services and they
would walk me through it. Even though I was an
Independent Agent, I never felt alone.
How did you fund your franchise? Did you
receive any discounts/incentives? I used a credit
card to purchase my franchise.
What advice do you have for prospective
franchise buyers? Know that this is a business
and like all businesses you must work at it in
order to build it. Headquarters gives us a lot of
great tools that we can utilize, and they provide
support to answer questions, but your business
will not grow unless you dedicate time and
resources (manpower and dollars) to it.
