Tourism season similar to 2020 expected as companies call for extension of aid

By: J.S.,STA

The Slovenian Tourist Board (STO) projects that Slovenia’s summer tourism season will be similar to last year’s in terms of visitor numbers.

Companies in the sector are already urging the government to extend certain aid measures, saying many are on the brink of ruin. Last year visitor numbers were slashed by half compared to 2019. There was a surge in domestic tourists, partially due to special tourism vouchers, but the 21% increase in domestic arrivals failed to offset a 74% plunge in foreign guests.
