What is a Fora Travel Advisor?
A Fora Advisor curates, plans and books travel. I can create a trip from scratch, or help book a hotel you’ve already decided on — and everything in between. Plus, I can unlock perks and VIP amenities at hotels, resorts & cruises around the world.

Why consider using a Fora Travel Advisor?
As a Fora Travel Advisor, I do the heavy lifting for you. You tell me your needs; I’ll leverage our community’s expert travel intel and first-name-basis relationships with general managers to maximize your vacation. I’ll match-make you to the perfect hotel for your taste, and ensure you get the very best value for your money.
Not convinced yet? Here’s the TL;DR:
I won’t just save you time and energy, I’ll save you money, too.
You’ll get the inside scoop on everything from what makes a hotel special to why you should order that starter every food critic is raving about.
I’ll score you awesome perks and upgrades you can’t get anywhere else.
I’m your direct line to the hotel’s management team — in other words, you’ll always be treated like the VIP you are.

What type of travel can you book?
Anything and everything! From staycations to safaris, I can do it all. Whether it's a one-night staycation in your hometown or a fully planned itinerary to a far-flung destination, Emerald Gate Adventures can make it happen.

How does travel planning work?
You let me do all of the planning. All I need are the basics: where you want to go, for how long, the occasion (or lack thereof!), your budget and what kind of travel you like. I get back to you with options based on your preferences and what perks you’ll get at each.
Plus, I’ll always have a direct line of contact with the hotel, activities, and restaurants, so you can rest assured that the nitty-gritty is taken care of.

What perks can a Fora Travel Advisor offer?
At Fora, we pride ourselves on our relationships with hotels worldwide. Expect perks such as:
Complimentary breakfast
Early check-in / late check-out
Room upgrades
Welcome amenities (think drinks on arrival, a fruit basket, a welcome note, etc.)
Credit to spend at the hotel. -
How much does it cost?
I can book most hotels at no extra cost to you – plus you get all those Fora Perks. Hotels pay advisors for each booking (same as the big booking websites).
For more complicated multi-stop itineraries, I do have a planning fee. Starting prices are on my Services list, and final planning fees will always be transparently presented and agreed upon.

What's the difference between Adventures and Advising?
Adventures mean that I will manage all the reservations from the start of planning to the end of your trip.
Advising means that you will be making and managing your own reservations, but you would like expert guidance to make your trip great. PLEASE NOTE: I am not able to extend Fora Advisor Travel Perks (complimentary breakfast, early check-in/late checkout, room upgrades, welcome amenities, credit to spend at the hotel) to Advising clients.
