I started with Fora in Oct 2023 and booked $120k in travel in just 3 months. Honestly I had absolutely no experience in travel aside from booking trips for my family. I thought it would be a good way to get a little extra income but knew nothing about the industry. Fora gave me every training I could ever need so I feel comfortable booking hotels, cruises, all inclusives. I have been very impressed not only by the training but the support and community. As a total newbie I was worried I wouldn't know what to do but now between the training and support, feel totally confident that no matter what I come across, someone at Fora can help me.
Now in year two as a Fora Travel advisor and I continue to be so impressed with this agency. The continue to embrace technology and give us agents the tools we need to be successful. Their portal has evolved exponentially in the last two year and it seems like each week it gets better and better. Now they are launching a flight desk which will a huge asset for us advisors. In summary...HUGE FAN!!!
Fora delivers an exceptional experience marked by invaluable support and training. From the moment I engaged with their services, I was met with professionalism and dedication. The team at Fora goes above and beyond to ensure that travel Agencia and advisors receive comprehensive support and training, equipping them with the knowledge and resources needed to navigate the world of travel seamlessly. Their commitment to excellence shines through in every interaction, making them a trusted partner in the travel business.
I love working with Fora. They allow me to book travel with multiple options. They provide virtual trainings, office hours so I can ask questions with a live person and a forum so I can ask other advisor questions that they may have come across. Best of all they are still growing and expanding. They listen to our demands and aim to please us. Unlike other agencies, no MLS having me recruit others on.
I have wanted to be a travel agent since a child. Fora has made my dream come true. I did an extensive search for the best host agency to join. Fora welcomed me and I am so thrilled to be part of the awesome Fora community. Fora is like a delightful luxury cruise. I have access to everything I need to be successful. I am not forced to do anything. I can do as little or as much as I want. I am confident that I am going to have a successful travel career with Fora. They provide the best training, support and community. Fora is the best host agency. I look forward to being with them for many years.
I joined FORA about 6 months ago! Thus far, I’ve been so thankful and very impressed with the focus and availability on advisor training. We’re really learning the core facets and nuances of navigating being a successful travel advisor. The support given from Fora HQ towards all advisors to help us thrive has been amazing. The entire FORA experience from initial training, booking support, marketing guidance, content creation, to engaging with our very informed and helpful FORA Community of Advisors, has been fantastic! Also, since joining, the FORA HQ Team is constantly giving us new tools and investing in ways to make life (and business!) for advisors easier, more streamlined, and more productive. Highly recommend FORA travel - 5 Stars!
Thank you Monica! It's really great working with you!
Registered myself at Marriott Star and Luminous Portal when they got the partnership. Got stripped of its access recently without any notifications. The only thing they said on the forum was that portal access to Marriott Star and Luminous is available to "Fora X" members, and that's after I already registered and down below in the descriptions of a webinar.
Star and Luminous deals only got posted on there and Fora is only providing it to a very limited few.
They also limit TA rates last year from 10 nights per year to 5 nights. Hidden inside their policy and without any notifications either.
Seriously disappointed by this.
Dear Fora Advisor,
Thank you for this feedback.
The Marriott Stars & Luminous login policy was determined by Marriott - however all promotions and deals are loaded in our booking platform as well as bookable on Marriott's main website with the appropriate rate codes.
Certainly there is no intent to hide any changes to our policies from our advisor community. Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we will review and discuss.
We appreciate your support and candor. best, Evan

What an accomplishment Lauren! Congratulations and here's to an amazing 2024 together !
I am a huge fan of all things Fora! Having recently joined Fora from another host agency, I can't even tell you how blown away I am with Fora's level of support and engagement from the HQ and Founder level. My experience with Fora is truly unparalleled and much appreciated! There are a plethora of resources to assist you to be a better Advisor to make the best recommendations for your clients, plus an amazing community of fellow advisors that supports you at every turn! I can't speak more highly of my experience thus far and in turn have only had happy clients!
Thank you Beth! It's so wonderful to have you on board!
I was just certified with Fora and I am having the best experience so far! This is a true community-oriented setup that I foresee being extremely helpful as I grow in my experience as an advisor. The HQ staff is extremely helpful and available, providing plenty of learning opportunity and encouraging togetherness among advisors to help each other along in our journeys.
I'm so glad you are enjoying the community approach! Thank you for your support!
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.
Thank you Ciara! It's great having you in the community!
