Under the new GREEN & SAFE label, the Slovenian Tourist Board joined responsible travel standards, which designate and highlight suprerior hygiene standards and protocols, as well as additional sustainable recommendations for tourist service providers and destinations.

Slovenia was one of the first countries in the world to receive the Safe Travels Stamp from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) for the health and hygiene standards that are included in the manual Responsible travel standards of Slovenian Tourism GREEN&SAFE label.

With activities based on safety, responsibility and sustainability, we increase the confidence of guests that both Slovenia and the destination Kočevsko are green and safe tourist destinations.
