About Slovenian Tourist Board

Green boutique quality. Smaller footprint. Greater value for everyone.

This is the vision of the tourist destination of Slovenia as defined by the Slovenian Tourism Strategy 2022 – 2028.

Slovenian Tourist Board (STB) is the national organisation that plans and implements the marketing of Slovenia‘s comprehensive tourist offer and oversees tourism development.

Systematic planning, development and promotion activities, sustainable and digital transformation and a modern approach to the positioning of Slovenia on the global tourist map are the tactics the STB used to enhance the visibility and reputation of the country in recent years to be regarded as a safe, authentic boutique destination committed to sustainability and responsible towards the natural environment, guests, tourism workers, local residents and economic operators.

In all its campaigns, presentations and other activities, the STB promotes the image of Slovenia as a country of hospitable people, pristine nature and exceptional individuals that include top chefs and remarkable athletes. With promotional and marketing activities, it addresses the guests who seek unique experiences in pristine nature and tourist offers of higher added value. It excites visitors with stories and experiences that communicate Slovenia’s sustainability commitment. The activities of the STB in the world are further reinforced by the message of the "I feel Slovenia" national brand: Slovenia cannot simply be presented with an image, but rather must be felt and experienced by means of a word, sound, colour, touch, action and experience.

About Slovenian Tourist Board

Slovenia: green, responsible and engaging global boutique destination

The core of all STB activities consists of a commitment to sustainability, on which the placement of Slovenia as a safe, green and engaging destination for authentic boutique five-star experiences is based. We are proud of the achievements the Slovenian tourism has made in recent years and of the fact that Slovenia is today an example of good practices in the field of development and implementation of sustainable tourism on the global level. In doing so, special importance and role is attributed to the central national certification tool, the Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism.

In our efforts to ensure safe and responsible tourism, we have upgraded our sustainable orientation with the Green & Safe brand, which communicates the responsible travel standards of Slovenian providers and destinations.

Green & Safe standards

In 2020, the STB celebrated 25 years of operation.
