As an independent travel advisor with Fora Travel, we're proud to be connected to more than 40 elite Preferred Partner programs — exclusive, often invitation-only affiliations with the world’s most distinguished hotel brands. Through these relationships, our clients enjoy privileged access to exceptional properties, complete with bespoke perks, enhanced benefits, and personalized VIP experiences.
Adventure's Calling...Are YOU Packed Yet?
our faq's
How much does your service cost?
Because every journey we create is entirely bespoke, we provide a tailored quote following your complimentary discovery call. Our planning fee reflects the thoughtful research, meticulous coordination, and continued support that shape your trip from start to finish.
For hotel-only reservations, this fee is often waived — the property compensates us, you enjoy the same rates you’d find on your own, and you receive elevated VIP amenities throughout your stay.
Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online?
Online booking gives you a room.
A travel advisor gives you an experience.
With a dedicated advisor, you enjoy:
• VIP perks and exclusive amenities
• Upgraded room options that maximize your budget
• Priority support whenever plans shift or issues arise
• A curated, thoughtful itinerary instead of guesswork
• Direct access to someone who understands the industry intimately
And above all — your time is precious. We handle every detail so you can focus on the joy of the journey.
Will I pay more than if I booked myself?
In most cases, no — you won’t pay more. You’ll generally receive the similar rates you’d find on your own, but with significantly more value: upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, VIP welcome amenities, and elevated service.
If an exclusive benefit ever comes with a small premium, we’ll be completely transparent, and the choice is always yours.
What if I’ve already booked my hotel?
You can bring us in for a “take-over” or advisory role at any stage of your planning. When possible, we’ll work with the hotel to convert your existing reservation so you receive travel-advisor perks at no additional cost. If that isn’t available, we can still support you with arrangements such as transfers, dining, and curated experiences to elevate your stay.
What if I only need a hotel booked — do you still help?
Not a problem! Many clients come to us solely for hotel bookings in order to access exclusive benefits. We can secure preferred partner perks that enhance your stay — all at no additional cost to you.
Do you only offer hotel booking services?
Not at all. While we offer VIP hotel bookings through our preferred partner network, our services go far beyond that. We craft fully customized itineraries, coordinate transfers and activities, secure restaurant reservations, and provide ongoing support throughout your entire trip.
You’re free to choose hotel-only service or a comprehensive, end-to-end planning experience. We also handle cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and group travel.
When should I reach out to book?
For high-demand destinations or luxury resorts (especially during peak seasons), ideally 6–9 months ahead gives us the best shot at the top rooms, best rates, and upgrade availability. For shorter getaways or less crowded destinations, 3-5 months is often sufficient. The earlier we start, the better for securing premium perks.
Do you offer payment plans for the planning fee?
The planning fee is required before we begin any work. This secures our dedicated time and ensures we can fully commit to designing and coordinating your trip. Once the fee is received, we immediately begin the research and planning process.
What if my budget or travel style is modest?
We work comfortably across a wide range of budgets while maintaining an elevated, high-quality experience. Luxury doesn’t have to mean overspending — we tailor destinations, accommodations, and activities to fit your budget while still delivering a refined, thoughtfully curated trip.
That said, we do require a budget that is sufficient to create an experience you will genuinely enjoy. Extremely low budgets limit what we can design and may not allow us to uphold the level of quality we promise.
Our goal is always to maximize value and craft a trip that aligns beautifully with your vision.
Why do you charge a planning fee?
As your travel confidante, our role is to design a journey that feels effortless, personal, and unforgettable. Exceptional travel isn’t just about clicking “book now” — it’s about understanding your vision, bringing expertise to every decision, and curating a seamless experience from start to finish. Our planning fee allows us to deliver the level of service, care, and attention your trip deserves:
Dedicated, Personalized Service
Your trip becomes our priority. The planning fee ensures we can invest the time required to research, design, and coordinate every detail with intention and care.
Unbiased, Client-First Recommendations
We are not tied to any specific hotel or vendor. Every recommendation is made solely with your preferences, goals, and best interests at heart.
Expertise & Exclusive Access
We bring insider knowledge, trusted global partnerships, and access to perks and amenities that elevate your experience beyond what you’ll find online.
A Truly Stress-Free Experience
From comparing options to managing logistics and troubleshooting on the ground, we handle the details so you can focus on anticipation, excitement, and simply enjoying your trip.
Can you plan trips for large groups or families?
Yes! We plan multigenerational trips, group getaways, and celebration travel (birthdays, weddings, anniversaries). We coordinate rooms, transfers, dining, and activities so the entire group feels taken care of.
