Slovenia’s orientation towards sustainable, environmentally friendly tourism received another confirmation. Travel + Leisure, a very popular travel magazine based in New York with almost 5 million readers, listed Slovenia among ’The Most Environmentally Friendly Countries To Visit In 2017’.

In the article, Slovenia was described with the following words: ‘Slovenia is home to Lake Cerknica, an intermittent lake—that is, a lake in the middle of a karst forest that disappears and reappears—where visitors can fish, row or bike, and each time see the lake take on a new shape. There’s also breathtaking Lake Bled. The glass-smooth surface of the lake surrounds an island with a Gothic church planted in the middle, and mirrored in the water.’

Beside Slovenia, other countries doing environmentally sustainable tourism best are Iceland, Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Norway, Austria, and Switzerland.
