Asked by agents in France.
Why do French travel agents need a Japan DMC?
A DMC gives French agents contracted net rates, in-country accountability and 24/7 support on local ground time — you keep the client and margin while we run hotels, transfers, guides and excursions.
How fast are quotations for this market?
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 France?
English-language account management is standard, and German, French, Italian and Spanish guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Japan do French clients book most?
We route by season and region so the Japan program fits the travel dates, not the other way around — anchor cities first, then the right extension.
How do agencies in France settle invoices with Explera?
France partners settle by bank transfer or card in their currency, with written confirmation on every payment; full account details are on the payments page.
Is Explera a licensed, accredited operator?
Yes — Explera operates under JATA 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.
What is the minimum group size or booking value?
There is none — the same net-rate access covers a two-person honeymoon and a 500-delegate incentive. Most France partners start with one FIT booking to test the service.
Can Explera white-label documents for our agency brand?
Yes — itineraries, vouchers and pickup boards can carry your branding, with Explera appearing only as the ground operator. Your client relationship stays yours.
