Pete Gatt

With over four decades of global travel experience and a career spanning luxury travel advising and media, I specialize in crafting immersive, custom-designed journeys that transcend the ordinary. Travel isn’t just my profession—it’s my lifelong passion and way of life. Raised across Greece, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand, while my father worked as an airline executive, I developed an early and profound appreciation for cultural diversity and international travel. After graduating from Villanova University, I launched my career in travel media, managing publishing operations at two family-owned B2B publications. My journey continued through leadership roles at Travel Agent Magazine Group, Luxury Travel Advisor, and as Travel Director for American Express Publishing’s prestigious titles—Departures and T+L GOLF. Throughout my career, I’ve gained deep insights into travel industry distribution, best practices, and emerging trends. I’ve logged over 3 million airline miles and explored more than 100 countries, each journey, enriching my understanding of global travel dynamics and the art of meaningful exploration. Today, I remain endlessly curious—researching new destinations, cruise lines, hotels, resorts, and tour operators—always seeking the best ways to help travelers experience the soul of a place with ease and authenticity. I am excited to combine an extensive rolodex of contacts worldwide, providing local knowledge insights and Fora Travel’s booking perks—like room upgrades, on-board credits, food and beverage credits, and others to enhance your trip.
