The vision of Slovenian tourism

Slovenia is a green and diverse country. Accordingly, Slovenian tourism is concentrated on boutique tourism, green and healthy environment and sustainable development.

One of the challenges presented by the unstable situation in the world is integration. As a result, Slovenia is directed towards innovative and creative tourism.
