Trade Resource Guide

Build and present
your own itineraries.

A practical guide to designing, sourcing, and presenting bespoke travel under your own brand using the Altura Global network.

What This Guide Covers
From destination idea
to finished document.

Designing your own bespoke travel product has traditionally required established supplier relationships, destination expertise built over years, and the time to manually produce professional client documents from operator quotes.

The Altura platform changes that. This guide walks through the practical steps · from getting confident on a destination through to presenting a polished, branded itinerary to your client.

What Makes This Different
Pre-vetted operators

Every DMC in the Altura directory has been independently assessed. You are not starting from scratch trying to work out if an operator is legitimate.

Structured brief, better quote

The Project Brief Builder sends a complete, structured requirement to the operator. First quotes come back accurate · not missing key details.

Altura Studio does the formatting

The biggest time cost in independent production is turning a operator quote into a professional document. Altura Studio handles that automatically.

Presented under your brand

Every document Altura Studio produces carries your business name and identity. Your client sees your work throughout.

Destination intelligence
01
Get Destination Confident
Understand the destination
before you brief anyone.

A confident client conversation starts with knowing the destination · seasonal patterns, typical routing, what product tier the market expects, and where the logistical complexities are. You do not need to have visited a destination to advise on it well.

The Altura Discovery Guide covers each region with the level of practical detail the ANZ trade actually needs. Think of it as the briefing document you read before picking up the phone.

Find a vetted specialist
and brief them properly.

Browse the Altura Global directory to find a vetted DMC operating in your chosen destination. Review their full compliance profile · insurance, licences, transport and accommodation standards, guide credentials, and cancellation terms · before making contact.

Once you have found the right operator, the Project Brief Builder sends them a complete, structured requirement. No back-and-forth chasing missing passenger details or budget ranges. The operator receives what they need to quote accurately the first time.

03
Turn the Quote Into Your Document
From operator quote
to polished client document.

This is where most independent production stalls. The DMC sends back a detailed operational quote · solid on the ground logistics, but not presented in a way you can put in front of a client. Manually reformatting it takes hours and still often looks like it came from a third party.

Altura Studio changes that entirely. Upload the operator quote, and the platform audits the operational logic, refines the narrative, and generates a professional itinerary document formatted to your brand. What used to take a half day takes minutes. The finished document carries your business name throughout · your client sees your work, not the operator's supplier output.

Manage the Numbers
Price it correctly and
protect your margin.

Working directly with international operators introduces financial considerations that are different from booking through a domestic supplier. Operator quotes typically come in USD or EUR. Deposit schedules and payment timing vary by region. And the margin you set at the quoting stage needs to hold through to final payment.

The Altura Financial Toolkit gives you practical frameworks for marking up international quotes in AUD, buffering against currency movement, and managing supplier payments cleanly. The numbers side of independent production, handled.
