Creating Lifelong Experiences for Customers and Franchisees Alike A conversation with Dream Vacations' Rosemarie Reed.

Five hours. That's the amount of time, on average, that a person can save from the hassles of booking a vacation—when they work with a travel agent. So says Rosemarie Reed, vice president of marketing and strategic partnerships at Dream Vacations Franchise. Entrepreneur caught up with Reed recently at our annual Entrepreneur LIVE event.

During the course of our lively conversation, Reed talked about everything from travel trends, to the role of a travel agent in this digital-first culture, to the perks of running a home-based business and, most importantly, why someone would want to become a Dream Vacations franchisee.

"We want to find people who are passionate about what they do…selling something to people that they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives," Reed said. "We believe in creating quality, lifelong experiences at Dream Vacations—not just for our end clients but also for our travel agents."

Founded in 1991 and franchising since 1992, Dream Vacations' training program makes it so you don't have to be a travel expert to get started. All you need is a passion for travel and an interest in a fun business opportunity.
