This article by Fora founder, Evan Frank, sums up what we mean when we say we are a new breed of travel agent. The Overseas Club is powered by Fora, who are an American host agency for over 6,500 small independent travel agents.
We are 100% behind the message that travel advisors are a force for good, and can combat the dominance of price based online travel agents (OTAs) like booking.com. Our passion, expertise and skills are of great value to travelers. And as our services are paid for by travel providers there really is no downside to using The Overseas Club.
We want to promote travel providers high levels of service and commitment, and help them rise above the price aggregators bland listings. A travel meritocracy is the vision, not an endless competition to lower the price point.
