A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDERS
The story of LatinExplore began in 2008 with the idea of creating a bridge between travelers who wished to explore Latin America and service providers local to their region. This direct path between you, the traveler, and service provider creates value for you through better pricing and service while the local economy benefits from fewer middlemen.
With the use of technology we have given travelers the ultimate control of their trip to Latin America. Through dynamic packaging you can create the trip of your dreams.
LatinExplore deliver’s to you the best medium to experience Latin America. Our network of Destination Management Companies (DMC) around the region are presented in this modern technology platform which delivers options that include pre-packaged and traveler-packaged itineraries. LatinExplore support its online platform with human customer support who have local knowledge and offer friendly, efficient service.
At LatinExplore, we are Latin Americans and Latin American lovers. We do not do this as part of a global strategy. This is where we are from, our business, our focus and our passion.
OUR APPROACH
The network: our approach is simple, yet efficient. The tourism chain is comprised a chain of intermediaries. Before technology could facilitate the access we enjoy today, service providers and final consumers depended on a variety of middle men who enabled the access from one end of the chain to the other. These middle men in turn, had the responsibility of adding services of their own (at a cost) to make the reach possible.
Technology has changed all that. We are now able to minimize brokerage services and in turn prices, whilst increasing reach and range. Our business model is based on unifying knowledgeable and well established local Destination Management Companies (DMC) so we can present their products directly to you.
A DMC is based locally. They create and manage the service in its entirety when the traveler is at destination. We have selected reputable long standing companies that stand by their image and who still believe “the customer is king” - in line with our own philosophy.
We believe the internet travel buyer is a saavy one. We thus offer three clear alternatives:
- Pre arranged packages provided by the expertise of our local Service Provides.
- Pre arranged packages which are customizable so you can get the guidance, while adding your personal touch.
À la carte services (hotels, activities & transfers) for you to build your trip from scratch.
