Time difference & quoting
Japan is 13 hours ahead of Santiago 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 Chile fly from Arturo Merino Benítez International (SCL) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Chilean travellers want
Chilean clients favour long-haul, bucket-list and honeymoon trips; fast quotation turnaround and the right inventory win the booking.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Chile builds around the January–February summer holidays, the July winter break and the September Fiestas Patrias. Seasons run opposite to yours: your December–January summer holidays fall in Japan’s snow and ski season.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Chilean peso (CLP). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in CLP is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Chile trade.
Chilean advisors sell Japan as the luxury-value play, with honeymoons a signature product and demand across November–March plus the summer family window. Group space is held on option with realistic release dates while you confirm with your client.
Settlement for Chilean partners runs on agreed credit terms by bank transfer or the B2B portal, with every service line itemised. Deposit and final-payment schedules are sized to your lead times, with secure card and bank-transfer settlement.
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. Guides, vehicles and coordinators are booked and briefed by one team, so one accountable desk owns the experience.
