Slovenia Green members

SLOVENIA GREEN is the umbrella brand under which the national tool for the implementation of sustainable tourism - the Slovenian Green Tourism Scheme (GSST) - has been operating since 2015. It is a quality certificate for meeting a wide range of requirements in the field of sustainable tourism and a tool for assessing and improving the sustainable performance of all stakeholders in Slovenian tourism (both tourist destinations and tourism providers). The aim is to make Slovenia an attractive green and healthy destination. The GSST follows the criteria of the international Green Destinations Foundation - Green Destinations Standard, which are recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council

Get to know the destinations, accommodation providers, parks and tourist agencies that bear the Slovenia Green label. 

Slovenia Green Label for destinations

Destinations are assessed against the global Green Destination criteria, which comprise 84 criteria divided into six categories (Destination Management, Nature and Landscape, Environment and Climate, Culture and Tradition, Social Climate and Tourism Business Performance). The final destination rating is issued on a scale of 1 to 10 for each category separately and also as an average of all categories. Depending on the level of achievement of the criteria, destinations may be awarded a platinum, gold, silver or bronze label

The Slovenia Green Destination sustainability label is based on 11 key steps and activities, which guarantee that a destination has already achieved a certain level of sustainability when it enters the Slovenian Green Tourism Scheme and, by signing the Slovenian Green Tourism Commitment, commits to continuously improving its sustainability level.

The Slovenia Green Destination Platinum label is awarded to a destination that has an average of six grades of at least 9.1, subject to a minimum grade of 6.1 in each category, a minimum grade of 8.1 in the Destination Management and Tourism Business Operations categories, and at least one accommodation facility with a valid Slovenia Green Accommodation label.

Slovenia Green Cuisine

After being awarded the title of Slovenia - European Region of Gastronomy 2021 and having established the sustainability concept of "from garden to table", the GSST has expanded into the field of gastronomy. As of January 2021, catering service providers can obtain the Slovenia Green Cuisine label based on having previously obtained the L.E.A.F. or Green Key international sustainability certification. In doing so, they sign the Slovenia Sustainable Gastronomy Commitment, which:

based on Slovenian gastronomic specialities, authentic and seasonal dishes with local character, highlights the exceptional importance of short supply chains of high quality local food providers and stimulates caterers to connect and engage with the local environment, reduce waste, eliminate single-use plastics, use fresh tap water, reduce their carbon footprint, use natural resources sustainably and maintain high hygiene and sanitation standards.

So, for those of you who are passionate about gastronomy and are close to the principles of sustainability, follow the Slovenia Green Cuisine label, which you can find at the following providers:
