Sustainability report of the Slovenian Tourist Board 2022 and 2021
The Slovenian Tourist Board has set out the path of sustainable tourism as the only possible way forward. We do this based on our own actions and impact on the social and natural environment, while at the same time we are aware of the wider impact we have on the sustainability of Slovenian tourism entities. We approach the development of sustainable tourism with responsibility and commitment, which is why we are pro-active creators and promoters of sustainable tourism in Slovenia. We present our management, economic, social and environmental strategic approaches, activities and impacts in our first Sustainability Report (y. 2020 and 2021).
