Slovenia, renowned for its stunning mountains, picturesque lakes, fine wines, historic castles, and vibrant cities, has seen a surge in tourism, reaching unprecedented levels. In 2023, the country recorded its most successful year for tourism, with 6.19 million visitors (a 5.5% increase from 2022) and 16.13 million overnight stays (a 3.5% rise). Foreign visitors made up 72% of all overnight stays, with Ljubljana seeing a remarkable 20% increase in tourist arrivals.
