New York-based host agency Fora Travel has expanded into Canada.
Fora is operating in Ontario after completing its Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) registration, with plans to expand further into Canada in the coming weeks, Fora said.
An annual membership fee, which includes access to Fora's advisor portal, is $399. That includes access to about 170,000 bookable hotels, training, content and marketing tools, streamlined commission payments, and an online forum.
Advisors in Ontario are required to finish the TICO Standards Exam, which costs $35; the host agency said it plans to offer a free preparatory program soon.
"With our Canadian launch, we're excited to open the door for more entrepreneurs to thrive in this incredible industry and help grow more small Canadian businesses," Fora CEO and co-founder Henley Vazquez said.
