Why Work with a Travel Advisor
THE PARTNERSHIP ADVANTAGE YOU DIDN’T KNOW EXISTED

You know those hotel perks that make a trip feel truly special? The room upgrade that gives you ocean views instead of parking lot views. The $100 resort credit that covers your spa treatment. The late checkout that lets you actually enjoy your last morning instead of rushing to pack.
Most travelers think these are random acts of kindness or lucky breaks. They're not. They're the result of preferred partnerships that most people never know exist.
The Invitation-Only World of Hotel Partnerships

As a Fora advisor, I have access to exclusive programs at thousands of hotels worldwide. We're talking Four Seasons Preferred, Virtuoso, Hyatt Privé, Rosewood Elite – programs that aren't advertised to the public because they're invitation-only.
These partnerships aren't easy to get. Hotels only work with agencies that consistently deliver quality clients and significant booking volume. It's their way of rewarding the travel companies that truly understand luxury hospitality.
What This Actually Means for Your Trip

When you book through an online booking site or directly with a hotel, you're just another reservation. When you book through me, you're flagged as a VIP before you even arrive. Here's what that looks like:
Las Ventanas al Paraíso, San José del Cabo: $100 resort credit, VIP welcome amenity, daily breakfast, room upgrade when available
One&Only Mandarina, Nayarit: Room upgrade, $100 property credit, daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out
Amanyara, Turks & Caicos: Room upgrade, $100-200 property credit, daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out
Eden Rock St Barths: Upgrade to the best room in selected category, daily breakfast, $100 food & beverage credit, $100-$200 spa credit
These aren't occasional perks – they're benefits that come with every booking.
Beyond the Perks: Why Relationships Matter

The travel industry runs on relationships. When something goes wrong – a flight gets cancelled, your room isn't ready, you need a last-minute dinner reservation – having someone with established hotel relationships makes all the difference.
I'm not just booking you a room; I'm connecting you to a network of hospitality professionals who know me and trust the clients I send. That relationship translates into better service, more flexibility, and genuine care for your experience.
The Real Difference

Anyone can find a hotel online. But understanding which properties align with your travel style, which rooms to request, how to time your booking for the best rates, and which partnerships will enhance your stay – that's where expertise matters.
When you work with me, you're not just getting a booking service. You're getting access to insider knowledge, preferred treatment, and someone who genuinely wants your trip to exceed expectations.
