## Story

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - Dream Vacations was recognized in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®. The 2024 Franchise 500 ranks Dream Vacations 54 across all industries for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

“Every brand on the Franchise 500 has its own unique story, but they all collectively make the same statement: Franchising is strong and resilient, is full of innovation and opportunity, and provides a powerful entrepreneurial path for many people,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “Our 45th annual ranking is full of companies with fresh ideas, exciting business models, cultural sway, and the kind of business sophistication that will define the next 45 years and beyond.”

In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The editorial team researches and assesses several factors, including costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is then given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500 in ranked order.

“Three consecutive years in the Franchise 500 is such an accomplishment that would not be possible without the dedication of our Dream Vacations headquarters staff and the incredible franchise network in the travel sector,” said Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager of Dream Vacations.
