How to work with Explera
How Explera works with travel agents.
Explera is a B2B ground operator, not a wholesaler with a price list. Agents work with us in two ways: book on the B2B platform for real-time availability and instant quotations, or send detailed requirements to the destination desk for a proposal costed by hand. We do not send rate sheets, promotions or sample packages.
Book on the B2B platform
Register once on the Explera B2B platform for real-time availability and instant quotations. Registration is free.
Register on the B2B platformRequest a costed proposal
For tailor-made FIT, group and MICE programmes, email your detailed requirements to the destination desk. The local team costs every proposal by hand against your brief and replies with a customised proposal for your market.
Three rules for a fast quotation.
01
Send detailed, live requirements
Travel dates, number of passengers with the adult and child split, hotel category, cities to be covered and the specific services required, sent directly to the destination desk. We cannot quote from a one-line request.
02
One new email per query
Start every new query in a fresh email with a clear subject line, for example “Japan Group — 15 Pax — Oct 2026”. Please do not reply on an old thread: each file is tracked separately, and mixed threads delay your quotation.
03
No rate sheets or sample packages
We do not share rate sheets, general promotions or sample packages. Every proposal is costed by hand against your requirements. That is what makes our net rates quotable, and it is the only format we send.
Quotation fee
Tailor-made quotations and itineraries for Japan, Korea and New Zealand carry a fee of USD 100. Quotations for Thailand are free of charge.

Quick answers
Explera at a glance.
What does a DMC do?
A destination management company is the in-country operator that turns a travel agent’s brief into a delivered trip — contracting hotels, running transfers, assigning licensed guides and operating excursions at confidential net rates.
Why use one DMC group for many destinations?
One contract with Explera replaces separate suppliers per country: the same net-rate logic, billing format and 24/7 accountability across every destination, so agents reconcile less and book more.
How fast are Explera quotations?
Most FIT and group RFQs return within 24 hours in your working currency; complex MICE programs are scoped within 2–3 business days.
Who can buy from Explera?
Only travel agents and tour operators. Explera is strictly B2B and never markets to the agent’s end client.
