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 has allowed me to monetize my lifelong passion of planning an booking trips for friends, family and myself. I have been the go-to travel expert for my extended network for many years, and Fora has provided me with the tools necessary to turn that natural passion into a profitable side hustle. I have a full time career in a different industry, but now I'm making a little extra cash for the things I enjoy doing anyway, and I am connected to a deep well of experts who can offer guidance for all things travel! 5 stars for Fora!
Thank you Alex. It's been so great working with you and seeing you demonstrate the ultimate side hustle of Fora advising!
Working with Fora Travel has been a seemless transition for me. They offer support from not only HQ but also withn the Fora community. Everyone is very helpful and it truly feels like a team. Having so many advisors who live all around the world and many who have traveled it has benefits. From restaurant reccommendatios, the best new store openings, Cultural events and what to avoid are just some perks. Fora has all the intel to keep clients happy and safe with it's wide network.
Thanks, Jill - its been great having you and thank you for being such an active member of the community and on Forum too!
I only recently joined Fora and the depth of resources and support has been fantastic. They have a well-structured training program - especially critical for those of us new to the industry to get up and running quickly. The marketing assets are very helpful to kick start my outreach and engage with prospective clients. The entire Fora team is incredibly friendly and approachable and the community component they are building has made it that much easier to learn and get started quickly.
I have been with Fora for only one month and already I am booking clients of all levels. I'm happy I made the decision to take the leap and pursue a passion-aligned career!
Thank you Martha - its great having you and you are ramping up so quickly!
Fora helped me take my travel content business and build out an entirely new revenue-generating arm through travel bookings. I had no idea how much money I was leaving on the table until I got connected to this amazing network of travel pros. Not only did they train me and show me the ropes of the industry, but they also seem to know everyone in the industry, which made my life as a brand-new advisor so much easier. They also pay out commissions 5 days after my client has checked out, which is by far the fastest I've seen across the industry. I loved this host agency so much, I ended up joining the HQ team last year and I can not say enough good things about this supportive and knowledgeable community of travel entrepreneurs and industry experts.
Thanks, Natasha. You're an amazing example of the transition possible from never-having-sold-travel to a successful advisor and now leader at Fora!
