Why agents work with us
Four things that make a file easier to sell
We work the way agencies need us to work, not the way that suits our office hours.
01
One consultant per file
The person who quotes your brief books it, documents it and answers while your clients are travelling. No handover, no ticket queue.
02
On the ground, in the time zone
Our team is in Australia. Suppliers answer us the same working day, which is why amendments and problems get solved before your client wakes up.
03
Proposals in 48 hours
A full day-by-day itinerary with net costings and named properties, not an outline. Alternatives where the choice actually matters to the client.
04
Ready to put your name on
Net rates, unbranded travel documents in English or French, and descriptive copy you can lift straight into your own proposal.
A French team
French-speaking, on Australian ground
Planet Australia Oceania has been a francophone agency since the day it opened. Our consultants are native French speakers living in Australia - so a French tour operator gets a local Australian DMC without working in a second language, and an English-speaking agent gets a partner who already understands the French market.

Quotes and documents in French
Day-by-day itineraries, travel packs and vouchers produced in French as standard, not translated as an afterthought.
Built for the French market
We work with French tour operators and platforms every day, and we know what a French client expects from an Australian itinerary.
One consultant, two languages
The same person handles the file in English or French, so nothing is lost between your office and ours.
Ahead of European hours
A brief sent at the end of your working day is usually answered before you open the next one.
How we work
From brief to return, four steps
1
You send the brief
Dates, party size, budget bracket and travel style. An outline is enough to start - we will come back with the questions that matter.
2
We build the proposal
A costed day-by-day itinerary within 48 hours, revised as many times as the client needs before you present it.
3
You confirm
We contract every supplier, hold the space and issue a complete travel pack, unbranded or in your own identity.
4
Your clients travel
Local assistance on Australian hours for the length of the trip, reachable by phone or WhatsApp, with you copied on anything that changes.

The company
An Australian company, run by people who live here
Planet Australia Oceania is registered and staffed in Australia, with our office in Manly, Sydney. We drive the routes we sell, inspect the properties we contract and know which operators answer the phone in high season. That is the difference between a programme that reads well and one that runs well.
