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.
Great Support System. I am very grateful to have found the Fora community. They train you and put a host of resources right at your fingertips. If you’re brand new to the travel industry, they will walk you through that process but if you already are established in your travel career, you can run as fast as you want to run! I found the people at Fora to be incredibly kind and helpful. I appreciate that there’s not a lot of hoops or red tape to jump through. I feel like people are just there to support me and let me work at my own pace. It’s truly been a godsend! Can’t wait to keep running with my new career!
Thank you Kristel! You are off to an amazing start too!
Best travel agency EVER! 10/10 recommend. Both for newcomers and seasoned pros, their internal tooling, training and community support make it so easy to be the best travel advisor possible and scale your business. As a plus, the team are made up of some of the smartest people in the travel business.
I've been with FORA for over a year, and I honestly don't think they do a good job with support or materials provided compared to other host agencies. The commission split is not good, and the marketing materials are very "rinse and repeat" and do not help with sales at all. They don't help provide any leads unless you are selling $100k+ per year, and because they are a new agency, their commission rates with many of the cruise lines aren't on-par with other host agencies. They are also extremely slow to pay compared to other hosts, and a couple of my payments have gone "missing" - I was just told to check with my bank? They didn't even look into it further, and their payment system frequently "fails." The invoice system it generates is also very confusing and difficult to compare to bank statements to double check that all payments have been made. They seem really preoccupied with their outside appearance - bringing in new advisors, and getting more investors/funding.
Excellent travel support , perks and the best prices. Best option to work with. The platform to book is friendly, you have all the options to learn about the best spots to visit in each destination. All the support needed from the team always. FORA is the best option to get the best experience and always VIP treatment for your guests.
Thank you Alejandro. What a year you are having!! You'll be Pro in no time.
I started my second career in August 2023. After early retirement from a management career for over 20 years, I took a chance to embark on a new career in travel. I am loving the journey thus far. I am learning new things every day, my computer skills are sharpening and I’m helping my family and friends plan awesome vacations. The people that work at FORA are top-notch, kind and helpful. The training is pretty incredible. I'm learning so much with both the live training, recorded training and from other advisors and suppliers.
I started mid-August 2023; I now have 11 clients and 20 bookings. Happy to be part of this agency and look forward this journey.
Thank you Nadia! Have you checked out the new training layouts in portal?
I joined Fora in June 2023. The Fora community and everyone at HQ is amazing. There are endless resources and access to trainings to set you up for success and it’s truly incredible the support and knowledge you get from this. I feel like I hit the jackpot in choosing a host agency honestly. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. The headquarters team is always taking feedback and making improvements which is really impressive how much they care and the effort they make to ensure advisors have everything they need for smooth as possible interactions with clients. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of Fora. I could not be convinced that there is a better agency to work with!
Fora makes it easy for their advisors to gain and access any and all information needed to provide their clients with great service and options when booking travel. Great focus on training and collaborating with other advisors for support. Whenever help is needed, it's always there, no matter what.
FORA is incredible. They've built an unbelievable network of relationships in the industry that give your clients access to unparalleled perks and experiences.
Not only that, but they dedicate an immense amount of time to ensure that you have every resource, guide, tool, etc. available for you to succeed as a travel advisor and ensure a remarkable experience for your clients that keeps them coming back. This is true of marketing resources, educational resources, and the broader Fora community which is quite active.
Even beyond these points, they have an incredible team who is beyond passionate about the industry and helping their advisors succeed while ensuring an unmatched experience for guests. They are the team to work with.
I've been a Fora Travel advisor for three months, and I couldn't be happier. The community is fantastic, the training is top-notch, and their organization systems make launching a breeze. Quick responses to queries, amazing suppliers, and beautiful marketing materials. Fora Travel is the go-to choice for a supportive and successful travel advising experience!
I’ve been with Fora almost a month and I’ve absolutely loved it! I’m so happy with my decision to join as an advisor and I can’t wait to see what’s next for me there! Fora makes everything so easy with their multiple prerecorded trainings, virtual meetings and training, templates and excellent support and onboarding team. As a newbie in the industry, I definitely had my doubts in the beginning but I’m so grateful that I found a company that allows me to do something I love so much. I find myself using all of my free time to watch prerecorded lessons to further my knowledge in the field.
