How Explera supports the Canada trade.
Explera plans Japan for Canada with jet-lag-aware pacing and internal flights booked as part of the package. Net rates stay confidential to the trade and the mark-up is yours to set.
Settlement for Canadian partners runs on agreed credit terms by bank transfer or the B2B portal, with every service line itemised. Options carry honest deadlines, amendments are handled without drama, and nothing changes between quotation and travel date.
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. Whatever the manifest, the ground team scales to it, and the duty desk answers around the clock.

Asked by agents in Canada.
Why do Canadian travel agents need a Japan DMC?
Working with a Japan DMC means Canada agencies hold the client relationship and the mark-up, while Explera owns delivery on the ground with confidential net rates.
How fast are quotations for this market?
Standard quotations come back inside a day for Canada, with detailed MICE proposals following in a few business days.
Do you provide language support for Canada?
English-language account management is standard, and English and Spanish guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Japan do Canadian 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 Canada settle invoices with Explera?
Canada 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 Canada 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.
