Slovenia in your pocket

The growth of tourist arrivals and overnight stays in Slovenia has been exceptional in the past few years.

The growth of tourist arrivals and overnight stays in Slovenia has been exceptional in the past few years. Besides our beautiful green nature and vivid cities, one of the reasons for this growth is the active presence of Slovenia on social platforms. You can explore 15 Slovenian towns and cities through the increasingly popular InYourPocket website.

In comparison to the European and global average, the share of tourism, in both total exports and the cumulative effects on GDP, is significantly higher in Slovenia, as is the proportion of people employed in it. In fact, every eighth employed person in Slovenia works in tourism. A new record was set by the Slovenian tourism industry in 2015, when for the first time since Slovenia gained independence in 1991 it recorded more than 10 million overnight stays and 2.2 billion euros of exported travel services.

The increasing interest of foreign tourists in visiting Slovenia can also be seen by the increased popularity of websites and applications that represent green, active and healthy Slovenia. On the InYourPocket website, which has had over 19 million visitors in the past year, you can find guides to 15 Slovenian towns and cities. One of the advantages of the website is that the guides are written by local journalists, so you can explore the cities and towns of Slovenia like a local.
