About Explera DMC
Explera DMC is a premier Destination Management Company dedicated to delivering exceptional travel and event experiences worldwide. We operate with a global mindset while maintaining rigorous compliance standards, with all legal and statutory frameworks governed and fulfilled through our Hong Kong headquarters.
Role overview
We are seeking a knowledgeable and commercially minded South Korea Holiday Advisor to be the destination expert for the travel agents, tour operators and OTAs who book South Korea with us. Explera is a B2B DMC: we do not sell to travellers directly. Partners send us their clients, and we plan and deliver the trip on the ground.
You will turn partner enquiries into clear, well-priced itineraries for honeymooners, families, FIT travellers and small groups, follow up until they confirm, and hand complete files to our operations team in Seoul.
Key responsibilities
1. Itinerary design & quotations
- Prepare tailor-made South Korea itineraries and quotations for B2B partner enquiries, the same business day wherever possible
- Price accurately from contracted hotel, transport and activity rates, protecting the agreed margin
- Recommend hotels, experiences and routings that fit each client's budget, travel dates and season
2. Partner sales & conversion
- Follow up every open quotation and convert enquiries into confirmed bookings
- Build strong relationships with partner agents in India, the Gulf and South-East Asia
- Train partner agents on South Korea in short online sessions and share new products, offers and travel advisories
3. Booking handover & coordination
- Hand confirmed bookings to operations with complete, accurate files
- Coordinate with contracting on rates, allotments and availability
- Keep partners updated from confirmation until departure
4. Systems & reporting
- Record every enquiry, quotation and booking in our booking system and CRM
- Report weekly on your pipeline, conversion rate and margin
