Frequently asked questions

Why should I work with a travel advisor?


Travel advisors bring invaluable expertise and personalized service that go beyond what online booking platforms can offer. While booking online is convenient for some aspects of travel, advisors provide firsthand knowledge, custom experiences, a global network, and on-the-ground support—ensuring a smoother, more memorable journey tailored to your needs.


How are your planning fees determined?


The planning fee helps us dedicate the necessary time and attention to designing a personalized travel experience just for you. Our goal is to save you time, offer peace of mind, and ensure your trip goes smoothly from start to finish. Fees vary based on the complexity of your itinerary, such as the number of destinations, travelers, nights, and proximity to your departure date.


Can I get better rates by booking through you?


While Fora Advisors have access to special rates through the network of partners, the real advantage of working with us lies in the experience and support we provide. We focus on saving you time, reducing stress, and delivering a seamless travel experience tailored to your preferences. If you’re seeking a personalized and hassle-free journey, let us show you how working with a travel advisor truly makes a difference.


Can we still work together if I love planning?


Of course! If you enjoy the planning process, our role is to enhance your experience with expert advice, exclusive recommendations, and benefits that might not be available on your own. Think of this as a partnership!


Why do you offer bundled package rates?


We specialize in creating comprehensive travel experiences rather than providing separate quotes for individual components. Our approach considers all aspects of your trip—accommodations, transportation, activities, and extras—ensuring a seamless and personalized itinerary. By bundling these elements, we can leverage industry connections to offer the best value for your trip.


Do you work with VRBO or Airbnb? 


We do not work directly with independently managed properties, as we cannot guarantee their quality. However, we can help you find verified villas, apartments, and hotels through trusted partners, ensuring the accommodations meet your expectations.
