World Tourism Day 2023

Today, we celebrate World Tourism Day, which this year highlights the need for green investments. Slovenia is already recognized in Europe as one of the most sustainable destinations in the world, and Minister Matjaž Han has announced that the industry will continue its green transformation.

In Brežice, where our faculty is located, a special day in honor of tourism took place yesterday, with several events occurring at Ban's Homestead. Among other things, stakeholders discussed the Brežice Destination Strategy, which we are preparing at the Faculty. Today, you can take a guided tour of the city center in Brežice, known as the "Path of Love," organized by the local tourism organization, ZPTM (Visit Brežice).

At the Faculty of Tourism, University of Maribor, we have tourism on our minds every day. We will be discussing the challenges of personnel in tourism and the necessary competencies for working in tourism at the upcoming Strategic Council of the Faculty of Tourism on October 5th.
