Slovenia: The Host of Virtuoso’s 2024 Chairman’s Event
Last year, Slovenia had the honor of hosting Virtuoso’s prestigious 2024 Chairman’s Event, firmly positioning Slovenia as a premier destination for premium travel experiences. With a unique combination of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, world-class cuisine, and sustainable vision, Slovenia is becoming one of the most sought-after locations for discerning travelers in 2025.

✔️ Sustainable Escape – Experience Slovenia’s commitment to green travel with eco-certified accommodations and nature-first experiences
As Virtuoso shared on their Facebook page:
We spent an unforgettable weekend in Slovenia, beginning in the breathtaking alpine landscapes of the Julian Alps, where rugged peaks towered over crystal-clear lakes and picturesque villages steeped in tradition. From the mountains, we ventured to the Adriatic coast, exploring historic towns like Portorož and Izola where Venetian architecture lines winding cobbled streets, with sweeping sea views as the backdrop, completing a weekend filled with Slovenia’s natural splendor and cultural richness.
Slovenia: I Feel Slovenia
Slovenia’s official slogan is “I feel Slovenia.” And as Virtuoso puts it, “You have to feel it to believe it.” Slovenia is more than just a destination—it’s an experience that stays with you. Come and experience it for yourself!

“With 20 years of experience designing trips in Slovenia, Croatia, and beyond, our greatest pride lies in the connections and friendships we’ve built with our suppliers. For us, every individual included in our itineraries brings a personal story—one that we hope leaves a lifelong impact on the traveler. A story to share upon returning home. A new habit to embrace.
