Frequently Asked Questions


What does a Fora Travel Advisor do?

A Fora Travel Advisor helps clients plan and book travel, but with a more personalized, concierge-style approach. I aim to help travelers design trips that fit their style, budget, and interests—whether that coincides with a luxury hotel weekend, a honeymoon, a family vacation, or a group retreat. With Fora’s partnerships with top hotels and travel brands, I can secure free room upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, and more— at no extra cost to the client! I will also handle all the logistics, answer any questions, and support travelers before, during, and after their trip. 

Can you help me plan a trip to [destination]?

Of Course! Whether you are looking for the best places to stay, unique experiences, or culture tips, I can help curate a personalized itinerary based on your travel style, budget, and interest. 

Do you charge a fee for your services?

In most cases, no! For hotel bookings, I’m compensated by the hotel, so there’s no extra cost to you—and you often get added perks like room upgrades, daily breakfast, or resort credits.

For more detailed or complex travel planning—such as multi-stop itineraries, group trips, or customized experiences—I may charge a planning fee to cover the time and expertise involved. If a fee applies, I’ll always let you know upfront so there are no surprises.

Can you get better deals than what I find online?

Sometimes, yes—but the real value often lies in the added perks and personalized service you won’t get when booking online. While the base rate might match what you see on a hotel’s website, I frequently have access to exclusive benefits like room upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, early check-in, late check-out, and more—all at no additional cost to you.

On occasion, I even receive access to special room types or packages that aren’t listed on secondary booking sites or even the hotel’s own website. Plus, I take the guesswork out of planning by tailoring recommendations to your travel style and preferences, saving you both time and stress.


Do you book flights, cruises, or just hotels?

As a Fora Advisor, I primarily focus on booking hotels—especially those where I can unlock exclusive perks like complimentary upgrades, daily breakfast, and resort credits. I also book cruises and can occasionally assist with flights, particularly when they’re part of a larger itinerary. While I may not always book standalone flights, I’m happy to guide you toward the best options and ensure your travel plans come together smoothly from start to finish.

Can you help with travel insurance or COVID requirements?

Yes! As a Fora travel advisor, we can help you secure the right travel insurance for your trip, whether for cancellations, medical emergencies, or lost luggage. We work with trusted partners to find policies tailored to your needs.

Additionally, we stay current on the latest COVID-19 requirements and can guide entry restrictions, vaccination or testing mandates, quarantine policies, and other destination-specific health guidelines. We’ll ensure you have all the information you need to travel safely and confidently.

Feel free to reach out for personalized assistance with travel insurance or any COVID-related concerns!

What if I need to cancel or change my plans?

Life happens, and we understand that travel plans can change unexpectedly. As your travel advisor, I’ll work with you to explore your options. Here’s how we handle cancellations and changes:

  1. Flexible Options: For most bookings, I can help find alternative dates, destinations, or accommodations if necessary. Depending on the type of booking, some hotels, airlines, and tour operators may have flexible cancellation or change policies.

  2. Fees and Penalties: Please note that changes or cancellations may be subject to fees imposed by the provider (e.g., airlines, hotels, tour operators). I’ll always review these terms with you upfront so you know of potential costs.

  3. Travel Insurance: If you purchased travel insurance, it may cover changes or cancellations under certain circumstances. I’ll help you understand what your policy covers and assist you in making a claim if needed.

  4. Timely Communication: If you need to change or cancel your plans, please notify me as soon as possible to minimize fees or penalties.

Rest assured, I’ll be by your side to guide you through the process and ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible!

Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking myself?

Using a travel advisor gives you access to expert knowledge, exclusive perks, and personalized service you won’t find on DIY booking sites. As a Fora advisor, I help you cut through the noise, save time, and elevate your travel experience—often at no extra cost. You’ll get insider recommendations, room upgrades (when available), resort credits, and VIP treatment at top hotels worldwide. Plus, if anything goes wrong during your trip, you have a real person to call—not a 1-800 number.

Why should I book with Fora when I could just book through my credit card?

While credit card travel portals offer some benefits, booking with Fora offers a far more personalized and value-packed experience. Our platform provides visibility into every available rate and promotion across 170,000+ hotels and travel partners — meaning you get the best value and expert curation. Unlike credit card services that often show limited options, Fora Advisors have access to everything, including exclusive perks, upgrades, and special offers you won’t find elsewhere.

Through our membership in every major preferred partner program and our exclusive Fora Reserve program, our clients often receive VIP treatment, unique amenities, and enhanced perks that go far beyond what credit card companies can offer. Our deep relationships with hotels, tour operators, cruise lines, and local experts worldwide mean better service and insider access.

We love credit card perks, too — in fact, we recommend using your points for flights and letting us handle the rest. When you book with Fora, you’ll never have to choose between luxury and value — you get both.

Are you able to book Disney trips?

As a Fora Travel Advisor, I have access to Disney’s official travel agency resources, which means I can fully plan Disney vacations—including Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani in Hawai‘i, and even Adventures by Disney. Whether you're looking to book a resort stay, purchase park tickets, secure dining reservations, or build a customized itinerary, I can help with every step of the process.

Disney trips can get overwhelming with all the moving parts—Genie+, virtual queues, park reservations, character dining, seasonal events, and more—but I stay up to date on all the latest offerings and updates so you don’t have to. I’ll make sure your trip is as stress-free and magical as possible, tailored to your interests, group size, and budget.

So yes, I absolutely can plan Disney trips—and I’d love to help you create a vacation that’s as enchanting as a happily ever after.
