Slovenian Tourism Board

Ljubljana – Slovenian tourism is currently successfully recovering after the Covid-19 pandemic but there are many uncertainties about the autumn and winter ahead, Maja Pak, the head of the Slovenian Tourism Board (STO), told the STA. Still, the industry is united about the future course – attracting more demanding guests and offering high quality products.

Ljubljana – Slovenian tourism providers are cautiously optimistic ahead of the summer tourism season in light of a major decline in the epidemic. Roughly half the accommodation facilities are open, whereas the bulk of the other half will welcome guests again in early June.

Ljubljana – The typical foreign tourists in Slovenia are couples who appreciate natural attractions, safety and relaxation, according to a survey conducted by the Statistics Office before the epidemic which shows the country still has untapped potential in family tourism, recreational sports and cultural activities.

Ljubljana – The Slovenian Tourism Board (STO) received four gold and three silver awards in this year’s Golden City Gate international competition, which celebrates excellence in promotional campaigns and features. Another gold award went to the Slovenian western region of Posočje.

The award ceremony was part of the international ITB Berlin Now travel trade show.

Ljubljana – After a very rough year that saw the coronavirus pandemic halve tourist arrivals, Slovenia’s tourism sector is in for another demanding year in 2021. However, the country holds the title the European Region of Gastronomy this year, bringing hope that the sector will once again be able to open.

Ljubljana – A video by the Slovenian Tourism Board (STO) has won first place in the ETC-CIFFT Video Competition, organised by the European Travel Commission (ETC) and the International Committee of Tourism Film Festivals (CIFFT). Titled Time to Stay Home. Turn to Nature and Dream, the video promotes social responsibility amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The broadcast will be enabled by the state-owned Slovenian Tourism Board (STO), which has secured EUR 300,000 for the project that will also promote Slovenia as a green tourist destination.
