Explera DMC for travel agents in South Africa — six destinations, one partner
Net B2B rates across Thailand, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Europe and the UAE, with 24/7 ground operations — built for how agencies in South Africa sell.
South Africa books across regions, and Explera gives its agents one partner for all of them. With licensed DMCs in Thailand, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Europe and the UAE, a single Explera account opens net rates in every market your clients ask for — typically the UAE and Thailand for leisure-plus-business.
South African demand leans toward leisure blended with business and wellness travel, concentrated around the December–January and Easter holidays. A named account manager covers all markets, with white-label documents and 24/7 ground support.
On the ground, English and French-aware handling is available where your clients need it, delivered by Explera’s own fleets, licensed guides and operations desks — never a broker chain — with a 24/7 duty desk covering every ground hour.
