How Explera supports the United States trade.
For United States, Korea is a long-haul trip that has to count — so Explera builds long-haul, bucket-list and honeymoon trips that combine several regions in one seamless file. Net rates stay confidential to the trade and the mark-up is yours to set.
You get net rates quoted in your currency, a single point of contact, and proposals you can forward to clients under your own brand. Options carry honest deadlines, amendments are handled without drama, and nothing changes between quotation and travel date.
Itineraries balance icons with breathing room, dining ranges from street food to fine dining, and the duty desk covers the time difference your office cannot. Drivers run our own insured, GPS-tracked fleet, and the 24/7 duty desk covers every ground hour of the trip.

Most FIT and group RFQs return within 24 hours, fully costed in your working currency; complex MICE programs are scoped within 2–3 business days.
Do you provide language support for United States?
English-language account management is standard, and English and Spanish guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Korea do American clients book most?

Is Explera a licensed, accredited operator?
Yes — Explera operates under KATA membership and IATA accreditation 96215733, with registered entities in Hong Kong and India. Licence numbers are printed on every quotation so your compliance team can verify before contracting.
