PROFESSIONAL PROTOCOL
You know your client.
We know the ground.
Your client relationship remains yours to lead. Costa Magnifica works alongside you as the local DMC, designing, coordinating, and operating on the ground.
ADVISOR RELATIONSHIP
We do not commercially solicit your clients before, during or after their journey.
COMMUNICATION
Direct guest communication is limited to what is operationally useful and handled in alignment with the advisor.
WHITE LABEL
Proposals and selected guest materials can carry your agency branding on request, where appropriate.
NO POST-TRIP MARKETING
Your client is not added to Costa Magnifica consumer marketing simply because we operated their trip.
WHY LJUBLJANA NOW
A new gateway into the Alps and Adriatic
Ljubljana gives U.S. advisors a practical arrival gateway for privately operated journeys through Slovenia.
From there, the journey can continue naturally toward the Adriatic, Istria and northeast Italy — without inserting another European flight into the middle of the trip.
Slovenia is the core. Istria and the Upper Adriatic are the natural extension.

ADVISOR FAQ
Practical questions
Are you a DMC or a tour operator?+
Costa Magnifica is a Ljubljana-based destination management company. We design and operate journeys locally and work as the destination partner for travel advisors and agencies.
Do you work with travel agents as well as travel advisors?+
Yes. We work with independent advisors, agencies, tour operators, concierge companies and other professional travel sellers.
Will you communicate directly with my client?+
Only where useful for operating the journey and according to the communication arrangement agreed with the advisor. Costa Magnifica does not use an advisor introduction as an opportunity to market directly to that client.
Can you work white label?+
Yes. Selected proposals and guest-facing materials can be prepared using the advisor or agency identity on request, where appropriate.
Do you only handle Slovenia?+
Slovenia is the operating core. Costa Magnifica also works regularly across Croatian Istria and the Upper Adriatic corridor, including northeast Italy.
Can my client arrive in Ljubljana and depart from another airport?+
Yes. Open-jaw journeys can be planned around the route and the client’s wider European itinerary.
How are advisor terms handled?+
Journeys are quoted individually and commercial terms are agreed directly with the advisor or agency.
