Celebrate World Tourism Day in Slovenia

The General Assembly of the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) declared 27th September World Tourism Day. Celebrate it in a unique way. On Monday (26th September) join the runners in the Green Lauf – run backwards for a green tomorrow in the centre of Ljubljana, the European Green Capital 2016. Over the next two days (27th and 28th September), don’t miss the global flagship event of sustainable tourism of the year, Global Green Destinations Day.

Catch the wave of green energy and run backwards into a green tomorrow! Join and run at the Green Lauf, the first backward running race in Slovenia. It will take place in Ljubljana, the European Green Capital 2016, between two of the most beautiful squares – Mestni trg and Prešeren trg – with the purpose of promoting green tourism and sustainable living, friendly towards people and nature.

The organisers of the event are Ljubljana Tourism, the agency for marketing in tourism Nea Culpa, the institute of sustainable tourism Goodplace, the Society Smetumet and their partners. After European Mobility Week (16-22nd September) and before this year`s major global conference on green tourism, Global Green Day Destinations (27-28th September), this special backward running experience presents itself as a unique running challenge and a special celebration of World Tourism Day (27th September).

The main green destination event at a global level, Global Green Destinations Day, will take place from 27th to 28th September 2016 in the Grand Hotel Union in Ljubljana, European Green Capital 2016. The event offers an interesting and variable programme, within which the leading experts in the field of sustainable development will meet. At lectures, study panels and workshops, they will discuss key viewpoints of sustainable development in tourism, the smart development of cities and local communities, green transport for today and tomorrow, social change, the sustainable management of hotels, and education on green tourism.
