FTC Compliance Statement

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, 16 CFR Part 255, and the FTC's guidance on material connections between advertisers and endorsers.

Commission-Based Compensation

Abora Travel, owned and operated by Diania Pimenta, earns commissions from travel suppliers — including cruise lines, airlines, hotels, resorts, tour operators, and destination management companies — when clients book travel through us. These commissions are paid by the supplier, not the client, and are generally included in the pricing quoted by the supplier.

This material connection exists between Abora Travel and the travel suppliers whose products and services are featured, recommended, or discussed on this Site, in our email communications, in our social media content, and in any other client-facing materials.

Effect on Recommendations

Our recommendations are based on our professional experience, knowledge of destinations, supplier quality, and the individual needs of each client. Under the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) Code of Ethics, Abora Travel is professionally obligated to act in the best interest of our clients. Commission rates do not dictate or override our professional recommendations.

Dream Vacations Franchise Relationship

Abora Travel is a franchisee of Dream Vacations. This means Abora Travel operates within Dream Vacations' franchise network, which provides access to preferred supplier relationships, booking systems, back-office support, and negotiated commission structures. Dream Vacations, as the registered Florida Seller of Travel, receives a portion of commissions earned on bookings processed through the franchise network.

Planning and Service Fees

In addition to commissions, Abora Travel may charge planning fees, service fees, or consulting retainers. These fees are disclosed in writing before any service is provided and are separate from any commissions earned.

Social Media and Content Disclosures

When Abora Travel publishes content on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, or other platforms that features or promotes specific travel products or suppliers, that content may reflect an existing commission relationship. Content for which Abora Travel received direct monetary compensation, complimentary travel, or material benefits beyond standard commissions will be clearly labeled with #ad, #sponsored, or #partner where visible without expansion.

Third-Party Links

Links on this Site to supplier websites, booking engines, or other third-party resources may result in Abora Travel earning a commission or referral fee if a transaction is completed. Links are provided because we believe the resources are relevant and useful to our clients.

Testimonials and Reviews

Client testimonials published on this Site reflect genuine past-client experiences. We may select which testimonials to feature, but we do not alter their substance. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes for future clients.
