I joined FORA in late 2023 as a side hustle. Given that this is my first time working within the travel industry, I have been thoroughly impressed by the training they provide their advisors. Everything proceeds at your own pace and there are multiple avenues to engage in training (live workshops, online modules, virtual topic-specific office hours, etc.).
The FORA team also values community amongst advisors, which is demonstrated through online forums, organized site inspections and other networking opportunities. They want their advisors to have what they need to be successful and even go so far as to provide marketing support/assets for a variety of platforms.
I would recommend FORA to anyone who has a passion for the travel industry, especially if you're a first timer looking to get your foot in the door. The resources available have made it possible for me to build my own business while still having a full time job.
I could not be more impressed with the support services, training, and advanced technology (yet incredibly user friendly) Fora offers to their advisors, and fast paying commissions. All the luxury partners as well! They have a database of all recommended properties, DMC's and other partners, training on them all, and also an online "forum" community for all of their advisors to get to know each other and help each other out. Tons of marketing support too! Highly recommend Fora Travel!
Thank you so so much, Nicole!! This means the world to us!! :)
I've been working with Fora for several months now as I've gotten my new travel business up and running. The resources, training, and support they provide has been tremendously helpful in getting started. They make submitting bookings simple and payment even easier. I'm looking forward to continuing to grow my business with them!
Thank you for these words, Samantha! We're so grateful you're part of this community!
Joined Fora last year when it was just beginning and have had such an amazing experience growing my business with them. The community and support that they have built for new advisors has allowed us to collaborate and share our knowledge about the industry, destination, and booking processes. The tech involved keeps getting better with every new roll out!
Thank you Elizabeth! You are a total Fora OG.
I just started with Fora, so I am still learning the ropes. I have been impressed with the level of organization and the support you get from other advisors as well as the management team. I have not had my first booking yet, so I can't speak to that. It does seem that they have things in place to issue commission payments in a timely manner. I like their website and the efforts they are putting towards SEO of our profiles and guides. Hopefully I will see how all of that works soon!
Welcome to our community Joslyn! It's so great to have you!
Are you fun? Do you appreciate thoughtful bespoke training? If you answered YES; then FORA is the agency for you. FORA is newer to the game but has industry experience to back it up. Competitive advantages I have noticed so far: the agency is creative; they have leaned into clever social media marketing which helps us all. The brand style is chic, modern yet approachable - allowing like ability to a wide range of clients. They are agile enough to respond to feedback, I feel heard and valued. The tools, resources and community are plentiful with great energy and positive vibes. Go somewhere with us! Xoxo - Good Luck Leah
Thank you Leah! It's wonderful having you as part of the community!
I love being a Fora travel advisor! It's been an amazing experience, especially the training, resources, leadership and community support. As a newbie in this industry there is so much to learn, but it's been a fun and exciting journey. I have already booked fabulous hotel deals for my family and friends, sometimes getting them up to $1000 in extras on a hotel they may otherwise have booked through an online travel agent for the same rate without any perks, privileges or upgrades. The commission from each booking is a welcome addition to my income. I'm happy... my family and friends are happy... there are smiles all around... thanks to Fora!!
Thank you Tammy! So great working together!
Great training, great community, super accessible and professional Host agency team! I've been searching for a way to be a travel advisor on my terms, and FORA gave that to me almost instantly. The agency team is really invested advisors' success and they, in return, are very generous with information and tip sharing. I've learned so much from my fellow advisors in the short time I've been with the company, I feel very supported. This is an organisation where people actually understand the power of collaboration to improve individual and collective outcomes. I am very glad I found FORA.
Thank you Caroline! And wonderful meeting you in person recently too!
I'm finally in a place I want to be with my career as a travel advisor and Fora has given me the stability and support that I need. This is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. The training, the community, the partnerships are everything I was looking for and more! I love that this company is a disrupter in the industry and can't wait to see what we all go with it.
Thank you Jen! We have big plans and so happy that you're a part of it!
I e recently joined Fora and already I have learned so much about the travel industry! Having been an avid traveler myself before this, I thought I knew the industry really well. However, Fora’s excellent training curriculum has really opened my eyes and allowed me to expand my business exponentially! They offer countless resources as well as a team of experts that are so helpful and easy to talk to!
Welcome to Fora Taylor! So great to have you.
From marketing assets and tools (i.e. email templates, social media templates, and most importantly, support from HQ), to streamlined commission payments, Fora Travel ("Fora") is not your grandma's (or grandpa's) travel agency! In addition to the above, Fora's community app allows you to connect with fellow advisors, share tips and tricks and celebrate wins. I could go on and on and on, but I honestly have everything positive and nothing negative to say about Fora. If you have any specific questions about my experience as an Independent Travel Advisor at Fora please feel free to reach out to me via email, daniel.goldstein@fora.travel or via Instagram @danielericgolds. Thanks!
Thank you Daniel! We're trying to be super modern but still make our grandparents proud :)
