FAQs for Travel Advisors
What exactly is Explore the Americas’ role?
We act as your local tour operator and destination management partner in Latin America. We design itineraries, coordinate logistics, confirm services, and provide on-the-ground support—working behind the scenes while you remain the primary point of contact for your clients.
Which destinations do you cover?
We are currently booking Mexico, Central & South America.
How quickly can you turn around proposals?
Speed is a strategy because we know how delicate your client's time is. We have developed our own software to let us create quotes as quickly as possible. Turn around time varies by destination, can be within 1 hour and up to 1 week depending on complexity.
Can you handle detailed complex itineraries?
Yes—this is where we excel.
We intentionally limit the number of advisors we work with so we can go above and beyond on every itinerary. That means thoughtful pacing, detailed planning, and finishing touches like restaurant reservations, special access, and personalized recommendations that elevate the entire experience.
Why are you expanding this side of the business now?
Because we care deeply about this region—and how it’s experienced.
We’re opening this part of the business to share our knowledge, relationships, and passion for Latin America, and because we feel a responsibility to ensure travelers experience the region thoughtfully and responsibly. When travel is done well, it benefits travelers, advisors, and the destinations themselves.
How do you stay connected to the global travel industry?
We invest in relationships. Our team regularly attends international trade shows and industry events to stay connected with travel advisors worldwide so you don’t have to. We believe strong partnerships are built face-to-face.
Is ETA the right fit for every advisor?
Not necessarily. And that’s intentional.
We’re best aligned with advisors who value local expertise, thoughtful planning, sustainable practices, and elevated travel experiences. We prioritize quality over volume so every partnership receives the attention it deserves.
