Time difference & quoting
Japan is 8 hours ahead of Vienna in standard time, one hour less while your daylight saving is in force. A brief sent at the end of your day reaches our desk the next Japan morning, and the quotation is usually waiting when your office opens.
Getting your clients here
Most clients from Austria fly from Vienna International (VIE) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Austrian travellers want
Austria books long cultural journeys of ten to sixteen nights, with service quality and clear documentation mattering more than headline discounts.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Austria builds around Easter, the July–August summer holidays and the autumn break.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Euro (EUR). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in EUR is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Austria trade.
Austria books Japan early and stays long; we build long cultural journeys of ten to sixteen nights matched to the actual travel dates. Net rates stay confidential to the trade and the mark-up is yours to set.
Commercially, your agency in Austria works with a named account manager who answers during your office hours and quotes net, confidential rates. Options carry honest deadlines, amendments are handled without drama, and nothing changes between quotation and travel date.
On the ground in Japan, Austria clients get knowledgeable guiding, reserved rail and contracted vehicles as standard. Hotels are inspected before we contract them, and the operations desk is one WhatsApp message away throughout the stay.
