This marks the seventh year that the Slovenian Tourist Board (STB) has partnered with the race, further promoting Slovenia’s vibrant arts and culture and stunning landscape to an international audience. By securing international TV coverage on the Eurosport sports network, the STB is enhancing the visibility of the national "I Feel Slovenia" brand and promoting the destinations, especially those hosting the starts and finishes of the five stages. Slovenia will be showcased to TV viewers through 230 advertisements, with half airing on peak viewership dates. This exposure will be complemented by digital advertising, which this year includes an interactive prize draw, further enhancing engagement with the digital content and channels of the "I Feel Slovenia" brand.

This year's 30th edition of the race is particularly noteworthy as it connects Slovenia with all four neighbouring countries—Croatia, Hungary, Austria and Italy. The diversity of the stages offers excitement for both fans and professional cyclists, ranging from flat sections to technical and mountainous terrains. A major highlight will be the royal stage featuring the ascent to 'Pogačar's' Krvavec. This climb, named after Slovenian champion Tadej Pogačar, is renowned among cyclists as Pogačar has held the time record for many years and it remains one of his favourite climbs in Slovenia.

From Murska Sobota to Nova Gorica, and from Krvavec to Novo Mesto

This year, the STB has once again prepared captivating videos of the destinations hosting the starts and finishes along the 840-kilometre route. Professional cyclists from 23 teams will conquer more than 12,000 vertical meters—equivalent to climbing from sea level to the top of Triglav more than four times!

These videos will showcase the stunning diversity of Slovenian nature to viewers on the international TV network Eurosport and across social media platforms. Audiences will be inspired by the rich natural beauty and cultural heritage of Slovenia, sparking ideas for travel adventures in various corners of the country, each infused with a touch of history and art.
