Why
Travel Advisors Love Working With Us
Most travel advisors know the Caribbean well. Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic are well-worn roads. Costa Rica is different. It is one of the most-requested destinations in the Americas right now, and one of the least understood.
That is where we come in.
Costa Rica Travel Experience is a destination management company based in Heredia, Costa Rica. We live here. Our team builds every itinerary from the inside out, with local knowledge that does not come from a brochure. We have been planning trips for travel advisor partners for years, and we know what you need: a local team that does exactly what they say they will, communicates clearly, and makes sure your clients come home happy.
Whether it is a multi-generational family celebration, a milestone anniversary, or a first-time Costa Rica visit, we build every trip around your client’s specific interests and hand you a package you will be proud to send
Why it
Works
Seamless Planning
We handle all logistics: private drivers, guides, handpicked hotels, dining reservations, and excursions.
Tailored Itineraries
Every trip is built around your client’s exact preferences. Ten days before arrival, we hold a Zoom call with your clients to walk through every detail together. And if anything needs to shift mid-trip, we adjust in real time.
Trusted Local Support
Every evening during the trip, your clients receive a personalized message previewing exactly what is happening the next day. And a dedicated WhatsApp group connects them directly to our operations team 24/7.
Expert Local Insight:
Our guides and planners live here, giving your clients access to hidden gems and cultural moments they won’t find in a brochure.
What Happens After Booking
This is where most DMCs go quiet. We don’t.
The Landing Conversation
Ten days before your clients arrive, our team holds a Zoom call with them. We walk through the full itinerary together, confirm flight arrival times, talk through what to pack, review tipping expectations for guides and drivers, and answer any last questions they have.
By the time they hang up, they are not anxious about the trip. They are excited for it.
This call is included on every booking.
A Message Every Night, All Trip Long
Every evening during the trip, your clients receive a personalized message from our operations team. It previews exactly what is happening the next day: what time to be ready, what to bring, what to expect.
They never have to dig through a welcome letter or wonder what comes next. It arrives the night before, every night, for the entire trip.
24/7 In-Country Support
A dedicated WhatsApp group connects your clients directly to our operations team for the entire trip. Weather change, a late flight, a last-minute request — we handle it in real time, because we are here.
How it works

Send us the basics — travel dates, must-see spots, and what matters most to your client. We’ll prepare a complimentary, personalized proposal..
Perfect the Plan Together
We’ll refine the itinerary with you until it’s exactly right, providing interactive previews, hotel images, and detailed tour descriptions to wow your client.

New to Costa Rica?
Here Is How We Work.
Most of our advisor partners tell us the same thing: they did not know Costa Rica well before their first booking with us. That is completely normal. You do not need to be a Costa Rica expert to send clients here. That is our job.
Send us an inquiry.
Share your client’s travel dates, group size, interests, and any must-haves. We will put together a complimentary custom proposal.
We refine it together.
You review the proposal with your client, send us feedback, and we adjust. Most proposals come together in two or three rounds.
Confirm and book.
Once the itinerary is set, we secure all reservations and send you a complete package with confirmed details, a payment schedule, and your commission information.
We take it from there.
From the Landing Conversation through the final airport drop-off, your clients are in our hands. You stay in the loop and receive your commission after travel is complete.
Have questions before sending your first client? Reach out anytime. We are happy to walk you through the process.

FAQ
What is the Landing Conversation?
Ten days before your clients arrive, our team holds a Zoom call with them to walk through the full itinerary together. We confirm flights and logistics, review tipping expectations for guides and drivers, talk through what to pack, and answer any final questions. This call is included on every booking. It is one of the things our advisor partners tell us their clients mention first when they get home.
Do you pay commission?
Yes. We offer competitive commissions on all bookings, paid promptly after your client’s travel is complete. We’ll always confirm your commission amount upfront so there are no surprises.
Do you work with groups?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a small family reunion or a multi-bus corporate retreat, multi-generation or any other, we handle group logistics with the same personalized care as our individual itineraries — ensuring everyone has an unforgettable experience.
What’s included in the package?
Our packages cover everything from the moment your clients land in Costa Rica until they depart — private transfers, accommodations, handpicked tours, expert local guides, and in-country support.
Do you book flights?
No, we don’t include international airfare.
Can you help with concierge services?
Of course. We can pre-arrange spa treatments, dinner reservations, special celebration surprises, and more. Our team is available 24/7 during your client’s trip for on-the-ground requests.
How do I get started?
Simply send us your client’s travel dates, budget, and preferences. We’ll provide a complimentary custom proposal within a timely window, then work with you to refine every detail until it’s perfect.
Why should I work with Costa Rica Travel Experience instead of booking directly?
Because we’re your trusted local partner — living in Costa Rica, with eyes and ears on the ground. We handle every moving part so you can focus on your client relationship. From anticipating travel hiccups to unlocking experiences your clients would never find online, we make you look like the hero
What happens if my client needs to make changes mid-trip?
No problem. Our real-time WhatsApp support allows us to adjust itineraries on the fly, arrange alternatives for weather changes, or swap tours to fit new preferences.
