Choosing a New Zealand DMC for the Brazil market
Verifiable trade credentials such as an IATA TIDS registration, direct supplier relationships rather than a broker chain, confidential net rates, 24-hour quotations, coverage of both islands and a 24/7 support line on New Zealand time.
Explera DMC New Zealand serves Brazilian 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. Most partners start with one FIT booking to test the service before moving group and series business across.
Getting your clients here
Long-haul from Brazil: 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. Arrival times are matched to transfers and first-night stays.
What Brazilian travellers want
Brazilian 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 Brazil 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
Most visitors need an NZeTA or a visa before travelling to New Zealand, and many also pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy. Requirements vary by passport, so we confirm entry requirements for each passport at quotation.
How Explera supports the Brazil trade.
For Brazil, 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. A named account manager quotes in NZD or USD and returns FIT pricing within 24 hours.
You get net rates, a single point of contact, and proposals you can forward to clients under your own brand. Deposit and final-payment schedules are sized to your lead times, with card and bank-transfer settlement.
Brazil honeymooners get celebrations flagged to every lodge and hotel across New Zealand. Guides, vehicles and suppliers are coordinated by one accountable team from arrival to departure.

Asked by agents in Brazil.
Why do Brazilian travel agents need a New Zealand DMC?
For Brazil, a DMC turns New Zealand into a single accountable supply chain — one contact, one invoice, one 24/7 desk — instead of chasing individual hotels and operators.
How fast are quotations for this market?
Standard quotations come back inside a day for Brazil, with detailed MICE proposals following in a few business days.
Do you provide language support for Brazil?
English-language account management is standard, and guides who speak English and Spanish can be requested, subject to availability.
Which parts of New Zealand do Brazilian clients book most?
We route by season so the New Zealand programme fits the travel dates — typically Auckland and Rotorua in the North Island, then Queenstown, Milford Sound / Piopiotahi and the Southern Alps in the South.
How do agencies in Brazil settle invoices with Explera?
Brazil partners settle by bank transfer or card, with written confirmation on every payment; full account details are on the payments page.

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.
