I joined Fora Travel five months ago, and I am absolutely loving it, even though I'm not working full-time. Here are a few things that stand out to me:
Luxurious Feel: From the moment you log into Fora, you can sense the luxury. The platform is user-friendly and clearly a result of significant investment in cutting-edge technology.
Wide Range of Options: One of the best aspects of Fora is the variety of options available. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly hotel or high-end luxury accommodations, Fora has it all. The numerous partnerships with different hotels make finding the perfect place for clients incredibly easy.
Efficient Commission Payments: Fora is very straightforward and organized when it comes to paying commissions. This reliability and transparency make the business side of things smooth and stress-free.
Knowledgeable Community: The Fora community offers a wealth of knowledge. Being part of a network of experienced and passionate travel advisors has been incredibly beneficial. The shared insights and support have been invaluable in enhancing my skills and knowledge.
Endless Resources: Fora provides endless resources that help me excel in my role. From comprehensive training materials to marketing tools and industry insights, everything I need to succeed is at my fingertips.
Overall, my experience with Fora Travel has been fantastic. The combination of luxury, technology, variety, efficient operations, knowledgeable community, and endless resources makes it a standout platform for any travel advisor. Highly recommend!
I have been in the travel agency game as a side hustle for many years. I recently came over to fora and the experience is out of this world. The platform is easy to use and navigate. The support team is fast to east to ask questions to. Also the other agents are about team. if i have a question its a rush of answers!!
Working for Fora has been a dream come true for me as a stay-at-home mom with a passion for travel and planning. The platform and training Fora offers are truly amazing! They provide incredible resources and support, including weekly Zoom calls that are both encouraging and informative. It's evident that Fora genuinely wants to see all of their agents succeed, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a supportive community. What's even better is that I can do this on my schedule, making my own hours. This flexibility has allowed me to start and grow my business at my own pace, as I continue to learn and develop my skills along the way.
I've had a really pleasant experience with Fora thus far! I joined in January, attracted by Fora's marketing strategy and low barrier to entry for new advisors. I come from within the travel industry and already have 11+ years of experience so I got accepted right away. Coming from a tech startup, I was really impressed with Fora's training program and the support you have access to as a brand new advisor. They put in the effort to make new advisors succeed. I dove into their certification program right away, and now 4 months in I'm on my way to advanced and pro status. It's all self-driven, but if you use the tools they make available to you can absolutely succeed with Fora. Marketing materials, training, community support are all impressive considering the competitive commission split and low cost to join. I'm planning on staying with Fora!
I have sincerely enjoyed working at Fora and consistently rave about it. The support from the team has been great, we have such a talented network of other travel advisors too. It is definitely self-starting, but it gives you the freedom and tools to create your own business and offered support when I need it. The resources are there, and this is my part-time gig for now, but I would love for it to become more full-time.
I started as a travel agent in 2023 with a MLM travel agency. I didn't know enough at the time to understand that it wouldn't be a good fit for me. Moving over to Fora this year has been night and day. While I have more experience now, the available trainings and updates on communication with vendors is amazing. I also appreciate that their guidance and policies are streamlined to give the agency the polish and reputation to market to high-end clients effectively. I think the marketing resources and templates are also gorgeous and a huge help.
My only feedback is the intitial commision structure. I think 70/30 is not great. But, not enough to take away the 5-star rating.
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
