No Franchise Royalties
This isn’t a franchise. We don’t take equity or charge royalties. You keep up to 95% of your commission, with a low monthly fee to access systems and support.
Support That Matters
From onboarding to operations, you’ll have access to:
CRM & booking tools, national supplier relationships, helpdesk & training, group marketing assets, monthly lead distribution, and a dedicated customer care team even when you’re travelling.
The over-50s market is one of the fastest-growing and highest-spending travel segments in Australia.
At National Travel Group, we’ve built our entire model around this audience and we back our consultants with the expertise, relationships, and product access to thrive in it.
9.5 million Australians are aged 50 and over — that's over 37% of the total population (ABS, 2023).
Australians aged 55–74 spend the most on travel, both domestic and international, compared to any other age group (Tourism Research Australia, 2022).
In a post-COVID world, seniors are prioritising “bucket list” experiences longer, more meaningful, and often higher-value holidays.
65% of Australian travellers aged 50+ say they prefer small group or escorted tours and cruise-based holidays (NTIA & Travel Weekly survey, 2023).
Over 50s are more loyal to their travel consultant, relying on personal service and trusted advice, especially for complex itineraries and insurance.
By 2030, the 65+ age group will increase by 35%, adding another 1.7 million potential premium travellers (Australian Government Intergenerational Report)
Why We Focus on Over 50s Travel
“After 25 years in agencies, I finally found the freedom to work my way. The support is next-level, and the mature market is exactly where I want to be.”
