How Explera supports the Singapore trade.
Explera builds Japan programs for Singapore around direct flight schedules and short, repeat breaks of four to seven nights, with series and ad-hoc FIT on the same net-rate contracts. Group space is held on option with realistic release dates while you confirm with your client.
You get net rates quoted in your currency, a single point of contact, and proposals you can forward to clients under your own brand. Series allocations are reconciled on a regular cycle so your finance team stays in control of every file.
On the ground in Japan, Singaporean guests are met by English-speaking staff, with Mandarin, Japanese and Korean guides assigned wherever the file calls for them. Drivers run our own insured, GPS-tracked fleet, and the 24/7 duty desk covers every ground hour of the trip.
