    Discovering a new destination, whether near or far, is exciting. But the planning to get there can be overwhelming, which is why connecting with a professional advisor is a good idea. 

    When you plan and book with a Fora Advisor, you’re working with someone whose goal is to ensure you have the best experience possible — starting with the planning. Plus, you’ll gain access to a treasure trove of insider knowledge and recommendations — not only from your own Fora Advisor, but from Fora's global network of partners and travel experts.

    So whether you want a hotel for your staycation or a weeks-long customized itinerary, learn how a Fora Advisor can help make the planning process actually enjoyable and your trip unforgettable.



    Intrigued? Read on for three reasons to book your next trip with a Fora Advisor. Then, connect with Fora to start planning.

    Reason 1: Expert research & planning before your hotel stay or trip

    When it comes to travel planning, the heavy lifting should be done way before you leave — that’s where your Fora Advisor comes in. Whether it’s just booking a hotel or creating a customized itinerary, your advisor can help.

    For hotel stays, your advisor will research the best options for you, based on location, rates and your style. This means you don’t need to sift through top 10 lists and social media posts to find properties that you like. It's your travel advisor's job to pair you with the ideal hotel for your travel occasion. (And by booking with Fora, you’ll get access to VIP perks.) 

    If you’re planning more than just a hotel stay, your advisor will put all their resources to work for you. You will talk together about your wish list, and your advisor can answer your questions about when to travel, where to stay and what to do, plus what to expect when you get there. Creating whole itineraries is one of an advisor's specialties and can include everything from hotels to curated activities and experiences (ask about flights, insurance and rental cars, too).

    Reason 2: Partner perks & in-destination connections during your stay

    Thanks to Fora’s extensive partner network, when you book with a Fora Advisor, you’ll lock in perks at 5,500+ hotels worldwide, including at partner properties like Rosewood, Belmond, Rocco Forte and more. These perks include amenities like resort and spa credits, extended check-in/out, complimentary breakfast and airport transfers.

    In addition to perks, you will be treated like a VIP at our partner properties. Our industry relationships ensure you’ll have the best experience possible in your destination, whether you’re on a quick weekend getaway or a two-week vacation. Your advisor works directly with the hotel’s management team, making sure to pass along any requests from your group. Allergies, special amenities or celebrations require special attention, so your advisor can provide that extra layer of service to make sure your stay is comfortable. 

    And if you need to make a change or something goes awry when traveling, your Fora Advisor is your advocate to problem-solve on your behalf.

    Reason 3: Personal relationship & supporting a small business

    Delivering excellent service is based on relationships, not only with our hotel partners but with clients. Fora Advisor chose this career because planning trips is in their DNA, and part of loving travel is wanting to create memorable experiences for other people. 

    When you work with a Fora Advisor, not only are you getting expert planning, VIP perks and high-touch service, you’re also supporting a small business. An advisor's role as a travel entrepreneur is based on interacting with clients like you and supplying the best intel and services possible, so you can experience the wonder of travel.

He went above and beyond to ensure that everything was smooth sailing from start to finish. He meticulously arranged our bookings at the most fantastic restaurants, ensuring we had the perfect times to savor our meals each evening. He had this incredible knowledge of the ins and outs of Virgin sailings, and his tips and recommendations added an extra layer of excitement to our journey. We couldn't have asked for a better guide through this incredible experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”

    "My husband and I had a great experience working with Mary while planning our honeymoon in Italy. She recommended the resort that we ended up staying at in Tuscany and it was the highlight of our trip! Not only did she help us with our resort reservations, she also helped us with planning our entire Italy itinerary with recs on popular restaurants and activities in each city. We will be booking with Mary for all of our future vacations!"
