Slovenia
GREEN OASIS OF THE BALKANS
As the ideas of sustainable tourism were discussed throughout the world, Slovenia was one of the first countries in the region to board the train to the vision of a high tech pastoral landscape. And we can tell you, they are as close as it gets. The Slovenes make sure that every cow on the bucolic slopes has perfect 4G connection, so no matter how far off into the Julian Alps you hike, you can always send a selfie back home. For a mountainous country they are extremely well-connected and you can reach any place within an hour or an hour and a half, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that many locals commute to work halfway across the country. After all, who wouldn’t like to have a great job in the city and wake up every morning enjoying the views and breathing the fresh alpine air?
If your clients are active and independent travelers, this destination is ideal for them both in winter and summer for leisure and adventure activities. A self-drive tour is a great idea in Slovenia, as everything is close and the roads are well marked.
For those who like to be spoiled, Slovenia offers a variety of historic luxury castle hotels, surrounded by beautiful landscapes where they can enjoy the views, the walks, the spa or golfing.
Slovenia is also a perfect setting for a major event, with a good choice of comfortable hotels in Ljubljana, from where it is possible to make daily trips to the Alps, the Mediterranean and the famous historic wine region of Pohorje, with oldest still producing vine tree in the world.
FUN FACT: Slovenia is home to some of the most unusual sports in the world such as running with dogs. It is also home country of extreme skier Davo Karničar, the man who skied down all the Seven Summits in the world from Mt. Mckinley to Mt. Everest.
