Entertainment & Artists — for travel agents & tour operators
International artist sourcing and destination-side event production.
Explera’s entertainment and artists service sources international and local performers and produces destination-side events for travel agents and event planners in Thailand, Japan and South Korea. Explera’s local teams handle artist logistics, technical production and on-site delivery, quoted net and managed as part of the wider programme.
Explera sources entertainment through contracted international artist-management agencies and produces it on the ground in Thailand, Japan and Korea — a Korean act for a corporate night in Bangkok, a European DJ for an incentive in Phuket, an international headliner for a gala in Tokyo. The artist is booked through the agency that represents them; the destination side is ours.
Confirming the artist is the short part. The work is the permit file, the technical and hospitality riders, the flights, the accommodation the contract specifies, the transfers, the rehearsal and sound check, and someone standing beside the artist on the night. Explera runs that end, so an agency books talent once instead of appointing a production company in each country.

Entertainment & Artists across the Explera network.
Each destination delivers entertainment & artists with its own local teams, fleet and contracts — coordinated as one group partnership for your agency.
Thailand
Bangkok and Phuket gala, wedding and beach-club formats — international headliners and DJs alongside Thai classical dance, khon and Muay Thai showcases. Foreign-performer permits filed through a licensed local promoter.
Japan
Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka venues where technical compliance is exacting and rehearsal windows are fixed. Taiko, geisha and traditional performance programmed alongside international acts; entertainer-visa lead times scoped before dates are held.
Korea
Seoul and Busan corporate and incentive formats built around K-pop, K-culture and broadcast-grade staging — COEX, BEXCO and hotel ballrooms, with production standards the local market expects as a baseline.

Entertainment & Artists — FAQ.
Do you represent artists directly?
No. Explera books through the international agencies that manage each artist, and runs the destination side — production, permits, logistics and on-site execution. Availability, fees and terms are confirmed by the artist’s own representation before we quote them.
Can you handle work permits for foreign performers?
Requirements differ by destination and by the performer’s nationality, and some cases need a licensed local promoter named as applicant. We scope this at briefing stage, because permit lead times — not artist availability — are usually what decides whether a date is workable.
