Slovenia is positioning itself as a premier destination for active tourism, leveraging its diverse geological features such as the Julian Alps, Vintgar Gorge, and the Soča Valley. The country is implementing a new Tourism Development Strategy to promote sustainability and cultural immersion, including efforts to transform Lake Bled into a “holistic regeneration center” and the use of digital nomad visas to attract remote workers. Camping tourism has seen a significant surge, with overnight stays doubling over a 15-year period from 1.25 million in 2010 to over 2.5 million recently. This growth is primarily driven by foreign tourists, whose stays nearly tripled to 1.9 million, while domestic stays have remained stable at approximately 600,000. Foreign visitors, particularly from Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Italy, account for three-quarters of all camping stays, with German tourists representing one-third of all foreign camping stays. The industry remains highly seasonal, with 80 percent of stays occurring between June and September. Regional growth is evident in Celje, which saw a 24 percent increase in overnight stays during July and August compared to the previous summer.
