Platform & Partnership
Answers.

Altura Global is a dedicated B2B platform connecting the Australian and New Zealand travel trade directly with independently verified Destination Management Companies (DMCs) around the world.

We handle the vetting, make the introductions, and provide the tools to send structured quote requests, so you can focus on designing incredible trips for your clients with partners you can trust.

No. We are an independent connectivity platform. We do not hold inventory, nor do we add margins or representation fees to DMC pricing.

We provide the connection, the assurance, and the operational tools, while the commercial transaction and contracting remain directly between your agency and the ground operator on standard B2B terms.

The Altura Global platform is your command centre for destination management. It moves beyond a simple directory to centralise operational due diligence, financial tools, and quote request resources.

It is designed exclusively to support professional travel designers and wholesalers by providing a transparent, efficient environment for risk management and project planning.

The platform provides verified trade partners with access to four primary operational pillars:

• DMC Vetting Index: Access complete compliance dossiers focusing on critical risk management data, including Public Liability Insurance (PLI), health and safety protocols, and local operating registrations.
• Destination Discovery Guides: Strategic intelligence mapping climate windows, minimum lead times, and routing logistics for complex regions.
• Quote Request Tool: A structured request form that captures everything the DMC needs. By selecting a partner and inputting your client requirements, the tool produces a complete request that eliminates back-and-forth emails.
• Financial Toolkit: A strategic guide providing insights and automated resources regarding foreign currency hedging, designed to help you navigate exchange rate volatility and protect your booking margins.

No. You deal directly with the DMC on standard B2B terms.

Altura Global is funded by transparent, flat-fee technology subscriptions paid by our DMC partners. This replaces traditional commission-heavy representation models, ensuring zero intermediaries layer margins into your quotes.

Payments are executed directly to the DMC partner. Quoting and invoicing currencies (typically USD, EUR, or local currency) are decided between you and the operator to suit your operational needs.

Methods are determined between the two partners and generally include secure global payment platforms (which we can assist with via our Financial Toolkit) or direct telegraphic transfers. Altura does not intercept payments or add margins to the pricing.
