Slovenia makes you green at ITB Berlin

Slovenia is the green heart of Europe, and was this year’s “Convention and Culture Partner ITB Berlin 2017" country at ITB Berlin 2017, from 8th-12th March. The country between the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Karst and the Pannonian Plain was represented by the slogan Slovenia Makes You Green, which was also seen throughout the entire venue on small green hearts. Through a National Geographic Legacy Award, Slovenia’s love of healthy waters and a clean environment, the level of conservation of the natural and cultural heritage, green towns and cities surrounded by nature, and the SLOVENIA GREEN national programme for developing sustainable tourism have officially become a green model for Europe and the world.
