Wellness holidays have been becoming especially attractive in stressful times.

The product of health and well-being is one of the key products of Slovenian tourism.

Cultural tourism brings great benefits to the economy, as it attracts travellers in all seasons and promotes the development of the local identity of the destination. Visiting museums, attending festivals, or tasting local cuisine, but also including more intimate local celebrations or learning the language.

It focuses on the cultural heritage and cultural landscape of selected tourist destinations with the aim of getting to know them and having an authentic experience.

New technologies for displaying virtual reality enable all people to learn about and experience natural and cultural heritage.

Culinary tourism includes three essential components: educating, exploring, and adventure.

Educating includes getting to know local culinary delights, culture, and customs, sometimes also stories and history.

Exploring broadens our horizons and enables a new, different view of the tastes, dishes and heritage of a place or a country.

Adventures are all authentic experiences with food and drink that are tasted for the first time and may also include special exotic dishes or rituals.

Today, tourists spend a lot of time and money on unique culinary experiences. There has been a drastic increase in the number of tourism providers dealing with culinary events, courses etc.

Virtual experiences and digitalization of tourism are one of the key pillars (and challenges) with which we build the tourism of the future.

The benefits of digitization of tourism can be seen both from the perspective of optimizing internal processes in tourism companies and from the perspective of the user.

Virtual tourism brings a lot of positive things, among other things it allows freedom and flexibility in travel, in principle it costs less than real tourism, and at the same time it can encourage the latter. It does not burden the environment and thus contributes to a more sustainable development of destinations.

Sustainable tourism is responsible tourism, one that respects the needs of the environment and the people who live there, as well as the local economy and visitors. In the environmental field, it strives to reduce air, water, and soil pollution, reduce the amount of waste, strengthen the quality and characteristics of the landscape, and protect and preserve nature, plants, and animals, while in the climate field, the goal is to reduce the impact of tourism on the climate and increase the adaptation of tourism to climate change.

Slovenia has established itself as a green, active, and healthy tourist destination that reflects the sustainable orientation of Slovenian tourism.
