TravelByPhilip is powered by FORA Travel and with this partnership, my clients are able to secure certain hidden perks in their travels.
Check out the top 10 perks TravelByPhilip may be able to secure for you on your next trip!
1. Early Check-in and Late Checkout Flexibility
TravelByPhilip, through our partnership with FORA Travel, has access to FORA's partnerships with hotel brands across the world. Those partnerships often allow clients to enjoy early check-ins and late checkouts at premium properties like The Greenwich Hotel or the Loews Regency Hotel in New York. This flexibility can add hours of relaxation or exploration to your trip without extra charges.
2. Personalized Welcome Amenities
Through our partnership with FORA Travel, our clients can receive customized welcome gifts tailored to their preferences. For example, at Passalacqua in Italy, guests are greeted with locally sourced artisanal products, such as olive oil or handmade ceramics, perfectly suited to their tastes.
3. Direct Line to Hotel Management
Booking with TravelByPhilip ensures priority access to hotel management, which is invaluable for special requests. We have direct lines of communication to local hotel staff around the world. At Raffles London at The OWO, for instance, this can mean securing reservations at one of their nine dining venues or personalizing spa treatments at the Guerlain Spa.

FORA's relationships often secure significant room upgrades. At Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Jamaica, clients can enjoy upgrades to private hillside villas with stunning ocean views, adding a luxurious touch to their stay.
