Slovenian Tourist Board

Often referred to as the green heart of Europe, Slovenia is a destination which offers so much despite its small size.

Slovenia is a country that has embarked on its own green journey, and we don’t mean the Alpine peaks and sprawling forests. Slovenia is focused on preserving natural and cultural treasures, and wants to share them with others who hold those same sustainable values.

This is why they have developed the Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism (GSST)- a certification programme that focuses on the sustainable development of tourism, and offers tools to service providers to help improve their sustainability endeavours while also promoting these green credentials to potential guests.

With their commitment of responsibility to the environment, and the wellbeing of its visitors and local communities alike we are excited to start telling these stories to the UK media.

Sustainability

  • The Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism (GSST) is a national certification program designed to promote cooperation among destinations, tourism providers, and stakeholders in the sector. Participants in the program strive to introduce and integrate sustainable tourism principles into their operations. Through a comprehensive certification process, the scheme provides a framework for rating and improving the sustainability of tourism operations across the country.
  • With 8 restaurants that have achieved the Michelin Guide’s Green Star status, more and more of the country’s restaurants are doing what they can to promote the positive development of Slovenia's profile as a country of sustainable culinary excellence.
