Welcome to green and safe Slovenia!

I know why I choose Slovenia as my holiday destination

For years we have strived to act in a sustainable and responsible manner towards its wonderful green nature and rich local cultural heritage, setting an example for others with our actions. We maintain high hygiene standards. Our commitment to creating safe holiday conditions was captured in the Green & Safe logo.

Health always comes first

Restrictions may have been lifted, but the risk of potential infection with coronavirus is still there, so caution is the best policy. You are advised to observe the recommendations of the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) and other measures, and if you are feeling unwell or ill, stay at home and consult a doctor by phone. The hospitality sector carefully carries out all recommendations to prevent infections. In this way, we protect our visitors, employees, and the local community. You can also do your part to ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone by following the relevant recommendations for preventing the spread of infections. Thank you for respecting the health protection measures, requirements and recommendations.

Slovenia is one of the safest countries in the world

We are proud that Slovenia has been considered one of the safest countries in the world for years. Slovenia ranked ninth on the latest Global Peace Index for 2024. The reputation of a safe country is maintained by responsible behaviour to preserve health at the national and local levels.

Striving for a sustainable future

Slovenia was the first country to receive the Global Green Destination title. Our commitment to the sustainable development of Slovenian tourism is demonstrated by numerous international awards, such as Best of Europe 2020 at the 2020 Sustainable Top 100 Destination Awards. More than 60 tourist destinations under the SLOVENIA GREEN umbrella brand meet the Green Destinations Standard criteria prescribed by the GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council). Many providers also meet a series of other criteria prescribed by certification systems for acquiring various logos related to quality and sustainability in tourism.

We love to live an active, healthy, and green life

The Alps, the Mediterranean, and the Pannonian Plain – Slovenia is the only European country where you can find all three. More than 22 thousand animal and plant species live here. Nearly 60% of Slovenia's surface is covered by forests. Almost 40% of its territory lies in protected areas. Green nature is only a step away from any city centre. Do not miss the opportunity for an outdoor activity!

In a country known for healthy waters and spas, you can easily enjoy a green, active, healthy and safe holiday experience.

Let’s act responsibly, safely and sustainably.

We realise that the trust and safety of both guests and tourism workers are extremely important.
