In general we are in contact with our franchisees on a daily basis, helping each other to maximise the potential of each individual site as well as the mydestinationinfo.com network. We also see our franchise network as more of a partnership, each person bringing new things that all of us in the network can benefit from thanks to everyone's backgrounds and skills.
