Among more than 400 EU destinations promoted on the most visited website dedicated to culture and tourism in Europe www.europeanbestdestinations.com, 21 destinations have been shortlisted among the "European Best Destinations". The selection is based on the cultural and touristic offer of the destinations as well as their quality of life, their sustainable development and growth of popularity on social networks during the past 12 months. Among them is also Maribor, Slovenia's second largest city.

The 20 most voted destinations will enjoy a global promotion on the most visited website dedicated to tourism in Europe (for 9 years in a row now): www.europeanbestdestinations.com.

During the voting period, the Maribor Tourism Board will run a digital advertising campaign "Vote for Maribor" and invite tourism stakeholders and partner organisations to support the vote. The overarching message of the campaign "Maribor is the best destination in 2023" is used with an attractive and entertaining promotional video to encourage people to visit the European Capital of Culture, the city of the Guinness World Record oldest vine and a great gastronomic and outdoor destination.
