What you need to know about Exoticca, the travel platform that’s just launched in Aus

Exoticca, a provider of pre-packaged, multi-day tours to over 50 global destinations, has officially launched its B2B operations in Australia. The company claims to offer travel advisors a unique blend of diverse itineraries, competitive commissions, and advanced booking technology. 

The Barcelona-based company operates in markets including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Colombia, and is now expanding into Australia. Exoticca’s offerings promise to streamline the way travel agents manage bookings,  offering hassle-free journeys to their clients with just a few clicks.

Industry veteran Dennis Basham leads the charge

Guiding Exoticca’s Australian launch is Dennis Basham, a well-known figure in the travel industry with over two decades of experience at brands like Virgin Australia, Scoot, Bonza, and Back-Roads Touring. Basham will bring his depth of industry knowledge and established relationships with travel advisors to the company.

“We are thrilled to bring Exoticca’s unique offerings to the Australian market and are confident that under Dennis’s leadership, we will establish strong ties with local partners and expand our footprint significantly,” CEO Pere Vallés said. 

CEO Pere Vallés is happy to be on the Australian scene.

“This launch represents a key milestone in our global growth strategy as we aim to become the go-to partner for travel advisors in Australia.”

Tech-driven tools for advisors

Exoticca’s advanced booking technology is one of its major assets, simplifying the often complex process of organizing multi-component tours. Booking multi-day tours can be a time-consuming process for travel advisors, often involving piecing together flights, accommodations, and activities from various sources. 

The company’s technology simplifies this by allowing agents to create and book fully customized tours in just a few steps. It’s designed to streamline workflows and free up advisors to focus on client relationships.

“Our advanced booking technology and competitive pricing, combined with Dennis’s deep expertise, positions us to offer Australian travel advisors the most comprehensive support in delivering exceptional travel experiences to their clients,” Exoticca Chief Commercial Officer Alberto Constans said.

Exoticca’s tour packages cover a wide range of destinations including Africa, Central America, Europe, the Far East, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Travel advisors can choose from over 100 pre-planned itineraries that include airfare from Australian cities, small group guaranteed departures, and fully commissionable rates.

For travel advisors looking to offer more while working less, Exoticca’s combination of commissionable tours and efficient booking may help. The company is positioning itself as a reliable partner, making it easier for agents to create memorable experiences for their clients — and earn more along the way.
