SLOWENIEN – eines der nachhaltigsten und sichersten Länder der Welt stellt sich vor

Timing: 2.30 - 3.30 pm
Format: Press Conference
Language: German
Session description:
Slowenien, die welweit erste Green Destination, gewährt im Rahmen der ITB Berlin Convention Einblick in deren Aktivitäten hinsichtlich nachhaltigem und sicherem Reisen. Zudem präsentiert sich Slowenien einmal mehr als eine der vielfältigsten Outdoor-Destination.
Seit vielen Jahren bemüht sich Slowenien um einen nachhaltigen und verantwortungsbewussten Umgang mit der Natur und seinem reichen Kulturerbe. Als Green Destination gilt das kleine Land im Herzen Europas als eines der nachhaltigsten und sichersten Länder der Welt. In den letzten Jahren haben sich Sloweniens Engagement für Nachhaltigkeit und Naturschutz sowie eine Dezentralisierung des Tourismus zur Vermeidung von Touristenströmen als wichtiger denn je erwiesen. Mit der Einführung des GREEN & SAFE-Labels, kurz nach der ersten Pandemiewelle, konnten hohe Hygienestandards hervorgehoben und bestehende nachhaltige Praktiken aufgewertet werden. Um Touristen auch nach Aufhebung der Beschränkungen weiterhin die Möglichkeit zu bieten das Land auf eine sichere und verantwortungsvolle Weise kennenzulernen, behält Slowenien die GREEN & SAFE-Standards bei und setzt in diesem Jahr weitere Schwerpunkte in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit, Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden.
In Slowenien beträgt das Verhältnis von Stadt zu Land ungefähr 50-50, weshalb Berge, Wiesen, Seen und Wälder für die meisten Menschen in nächster Nähe sind. Dieser besondere Bezug zur Natur prägt auch das außergewöhnlich breite Outdoor-Angebot Sloweniens auf kleinstem Raum. Als eines der primären Leitprodukte im Tourismus liegt auch in diesem Jahr der Fokus auf der stetigen Weiterentwicklung des Themas »Outdoor« – nachhaltige, sichere und einzigartige Erlebnisse unter Berücksichtigung unberührter Naturlandschaften sind das Ziel. Zur nachhaltigen Positionierung auf dem Markt werden unterstützend bekannte Slowenische Profisportler in die Kommunikation einbezogen, um so einen authentischen und individuellen Charakter zu wahren.
In der Pressekonferenz anlässlich der ITB NOW berichten unter anderem Zdravko Počivalšek, Minister für wirtschafltiche Entwicklung und Technologie, Ilona Stermecki, CEO Slovenian Tourist Board, Rebeka Kumer Bizjak, Direktorin des Slowenischen Tourismusamtes in Deutschland sowie Matej Kampare, Präsident des Vereins Slovenian Outdoor über Neuigkeiten aus Slowenien sowie die Vorzüge eines Urlaubs in einer der nachhaltigsten und sichersten Destinationen weltweit. Ebenso wird die slowenische Skirennläuferin Ilka Štuhec als Botschafterin des Slowenischen Tourismus im Rahmen der Pressekonferenz einen Enblick in Slowenien als eine der vielfältigsten Outdoor-Destination.
