Jennifer Hawthorn
Owner, Vacation Planners of Central Arkansas
“Teaming up with Vacation Planners has been a total game changer for me. Having their support behind the scenes gives me the freedom and focus to do what I love most, creating incredible travel experiences for my clients. I feel confident, supported, and really excited about what’s ahead.”
Christine New
Owner, Vacation PLanners of South Central Florida
“I was blown away by the amazing, human, and individualized support; every question felt like a priority, not just another ticket in a queue. Leadership truly sees you as a partner with unique value, celebrating your goals rather than treating you like a cog in the machine. And far from fierce competition, fellow franchise owners have become my friends and collaborators, always ready to share insights and lift each other up.”
Candice Clark

“What surprised me most about joining Vacation Planners was how supported I felt right from the start. I especially love having access to social media management and ready-to-use marketing tools—like flyers, event materials, and banners—which make it so much easier to promote my business and stay consistent with branding.”
