At this time of uncertainty, success in the tourism industry depends on guests' trust in being able to spend holidays without compromising their health and safety. 

The instant reaction, strong will to help the tourism in Slovenia recover as soon as possible and the common efforts with all the stakeholders have resulted in the GREEN & SAFE label, which offers an upgrade of sustainable practices with a new responsibility to local communities and guests and represents Slovenia’s commitment to responsible, green, and safe tourism.

Slovenian destinations are already among the most trustworthy in the world. Together with the GLOBAL SAFETY STAMP, the GREEN & SAFE SLOVENIA label represents an upgrade of our sustainable practices with new responsibility towards local communities and everyone coming for a visit. Our commitment to sustainability, natural and cultural sights that do not attract masses, clean and preserved nature, as well as care for the well-being of local inhabitants and visitors, addressed new challenges in tourism years ago. We believe that the standards and accurate communication of safety and sustainability are the new normal and we are 100 % committed to respect that”, states Maja Pak, the director of Slovenian Tourist Board.
