Fora Reserve

Learn what Fora Reserve is, which partners are included, how partners qualify, and how Fora Reserve appears in Portal.

Overview

Fora Reserve is Fora’s preferred partner program—a curated collection of more than 5,000 supplier relationships across hotels, DMCs, tour operators, experiences, and more.

Every Fora Reserve partner offers a combination of exceptional client experiences, valuable perks and amenities, and strong commercial terms. Partner details, commission information, and available benefits are clearly displayed in Portal, helping you make informed recommendations for every client and trip.

The scale of Fora’s advisor community helps make these partnerships possible. As the community grows, Fora can continue to strengthen direct supplier relationships and unlock even greater value for advisors and their clients.

What’s Included in Fora Reserve?

Fora Reserve includes partners across a wide range of travel categories, including:

  • Hotels

  • DMCs

  • Tour operators

  • And more

Partners may be either:

  • Directly contracted relationships with Fora

  • Hotels participating in brand-level preferred programs where Fora is a direct member, such as:

Fora Reserve partners are clearly identified throughout Portal.

Partner Badging and Search Placement

Fora Reserve partners are:

  • Badged with the Fora Reserve designation

  • Prioritized in Portal search results

Commission rates, perks, and amenity details are displayed directly within each partner profile.

Fora Rates

Fora Rates are rates loaded directly by a hotel or partner into Fora’s booking platform.

When available, these rates reflect the agreed-upon combination of perks and commission for that property. Details vary by property and are displayed within the booking experience.

You’ll see Fora Rates as a booking channel option in Portal when applicable.

Brand Preferred Program Hotels

For hotels that participate through a brand preferred program, such as Hyatt Privé, booking workflows remain unchanged.

You’ll continue booking through the appropriate preferred program tab and channel.

If a Partner Isn’t in Fora Reserve

Partners that are not part of Fora Reserve can still be booked through the platform.

Fora Reserve highlights Fora’s deepest direct partnerships, but the best recommendation will always depend on your client’s needs and trip goals.

Portal displays available rates, perks, and booking details across partners, giving you the information needed to make the right recommendation.
