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.
FORA is simply wonderful. In real estate I am the managing broker for 8 states -- our firm is fully virtual, 100% commission, everyone is part time, but they are the go to people in their circle for real estate matters. That is FORA with travel. Great people. Great tools. Fabulous support. Wonderful training. Made it easy for me to do more than $100k the first month. Its like being adopted into a warm family business.
Michael, YOU are wonderful, and a total rockstar!! Thank you for being a part of this community!!
I'm a brand new travel advisor, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to join Fora. In fact, they have exceeded my expectations! Everyone from the founders to the entire HQ team and the community are supportive, friendly, and always providing tools and resources for us to succeed. I'm loving the training and resources they provide new and experienced advisors, and I feel confident I can succeed as a travel advisor with Fora on my team.
I was a little hesitant at first to join because of how new Fora is, however, they may be a newer host agency, but their combined years of experience and fresh approach to a sometimes stale industry is refreshing. It's exciting to be a part of such a forward thinking, growth-mindset oriented company who fosters community over competition. Very happy I took the leap and joined Fora!
Laura, we're so happy you took the leap, too! Thank you for your words!!
I joined Fora as an experienced agent who was out of the business a few years and cannot believe how helpful this company is. Their agent sight and destination help is exceptional. The training and destination videos are extremely educational and not too long. The website for agents is easy to navigate and straightforward so I don’t have to spend a great amount of time researching a destination. I find exactly what I need in a matter of minutes. I wish this company was around 20 years ago when I became a new agent. Everything is so well organized and easy to research exactly what I need. The support staff gets back to me immediately and all agents help each other daily. The resources are phenomenal and they continue to add more helpful services to make our job as agents easier. Thank you Fora!
Thank YOU, Lisa!! Fora is lucky to have you!
I couldn’t be happier with Fora! The support, training, resources and community are outstanding. Fora is a wonderful host for both new and seasoned advisors. You can move as fast as you want to. Training includes gorgeous content, advise on marketing and growing you business and extensive continuous training.
Thank you! We're so glad you're enjoying the journey. :)
I can’t believe I didn’t find FORA sooner! From day one I knew I’d landed in the right place. I’ve been in the airline industry for 30+ years and had a very outdated idea of what travel advisors actually do TODAY and to my surprise I found that by NOT offering booking to people I was really missing out. I still share inspiration from my travels but now have a way to actually help people. FORA provides as much or as little as an advisor needs and offers training in all learning modalities and in relatively bite-sized chunks so anyone can start and get going. The investment (so far) has mostly been my time and effort and while it’s not free it’s around what I might spend on a hobby so I knew that if for some reason I didn’t enjoy the work, I wouldn’t have been out a huge amount. They harness technology in such a useful way and are constantly innovating that it energizes me to stay current as well. I love being a part of the growth of this exciting company!
Carol, we love having you!! You are such a vibrant source of energy in the Fora fam, and we are just so lucky to have you!
Travel has been the one constant in my life! I never realized the potential in myself to arrange a vacation for others. I have done it with out thinking and now I have been given an opportunity to share my talents with everyone! Fora has given me a sense of purpose and adventure. A recent empty nester who was searching for a purpose , Fora gave me that. Their knowledge and support have truly inspired me. There is so much to this occupation and I am loving learning about it all! Fora's Team is amazing! The way we can come together as a community is so supportive. Trainings were easy, mind-boggling and straight fun. Thank you Fora for pin pointing my dream I didn't even know was there! Cheers! Give Fora a try you wont regret it!
Thank you, Joanna! This means the world to us. We're so grateful you're part of our community!
One year ago I made the decision to join Fora and it's truly been the best professional decision I could have made. While I was not new to entrepreneurship, I was new to the travel industry and I could not be more grateful for Fora's support and encouragement. From the trainings to the tools, everything Fora does is to support their advisors. They want nothing but for us to succeed and continue to invest their time and funds to help us. They are constantly improving the technology they provide for us and are always available for questions and suggestions. HQ is helpful, approachable and encouraging. I love that they do trainings weekly as well as in-person and local trainings. I truly believe that the tools Fora provides are the reason I have had such a successful first year as an advisor. Not only do I have ample resources at my fingertips but I am part of a supportive, friendly community that truly believes we are stronger by helping each other instead of competing with each other. I am so proud to be a Fora advisor and can't wait to see what the future holds.
You're amazing, Juli! You are a gift to the Fora community, and we are all immensely grateful you joined, truly. :) I can't wait to continue on this journey together!
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.
