Explera DMC New Zealand serves Argentine travel agents and tour operators as a trade-only ground partner — IATA TIDS-registered at group level, net rates, coverage of both islands and 24/7 support.

Getting your clients here
Long-haul from Argentina: nonstop routes from the US West Coast and some other US hubs reach Auckland (AKL) in roughly 12–14 hours, and other routings connect via North America, South America or Australia. We route Argentine arrivals to the gateway that best fits the itinerary.
What Argentine travellers want
Argentine travellers combine Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown and Milford Sound / Piopiotahi with wine regions and Māori cultural experiences, and book honeymoons and milestone trips well ahead. Jet-lag-aware pacing matters on arrival. Fast quotation turnaround and the right inventory win the booking.
When this market travels
The northern winter is the New Zealand summer (Dec–Feb); spring and autumn suit touring, and the ski season runs roughly mid-June to early October. Peaks in Argentina track the northern winter (the New Zealand summer) and the shoulder seasons.
Currency, payment & billing
Quotations in USD or NZD; settlement rate-locked at confirmation.
Entry & documents

How Explera supports the Argentina trade.
For Argentina, New Zealand is a long-haul trip that has to count — so Explera builds long-haul bucket-list and honeymoon trips of ten to sixteen nights that cover both islands in one seamless file. Net rates stay confidential to the trade and the mark-up is yours to set.
Settlement for Argentine partners runs by bank transfer or card through the B2B portal, with every service line itemised. One line-itemised statement per file drops cleanly into your mid- or back-office system.
Argentina honeymooners get celebrations flagged to every lodge and hotel across New Zealand. Transport runs with licensed, insured operators, and the 24/7 support desk covers every ground hour of the trip.
