How Explera supports the Malta trade.
Explera contracts Japan for Malta to a winter-sun calendar, with twin-centre city-plus-beach programs and package-travel documentation. A named account manager quotes in your working currency and returns FIT pricing within 24 hours.
Quoting for Malta is built for your margins: clear per-person grids, child and extra-bed policies up front, and pricing in your working currency. One line-itemised statement per file drops cleanly into your mid- or back-office system without manual rekeying.
Pacing leaves real beach time between excursions, dining skews to authentic local tables we have inspected, and elephant programs are sanctuary-only. Drivers run our own insured, GPS-tracked fleet, and the 24/7 duty desk covers every ground hour of the trip.
