Travel updates: Slovenia

Thanks to the extensive measures taken, Slovenia has managed to keep the coronavirus cases low and was able to declare the end of the epidemic on 14 May 2020.  Being the first European country to do so, Slovenia is gradually reopening the borders to EU residents. With their ears constantly on the ground, talking with trusted local suppliers and brainstorming about new personalized activities, Intours DMC shares the latest news with event professionals.

Hotel Openings

Hotels with up to 30 rooms, like the boutique hotel Cubo in Ljubljana or several glamping resorts around Slovenia, re-opened their doors on 18th May.

Larger hotels such as the Intercontinental hotel Ljubljana, Kempinski hotel Portorož and Rikli Balance hotel in Bled are expected to open by mid-June. All accommodation providers have implemented a number of hygiene practices and social distancing measures to ensure the health, safety and well-being of the guests.

Accessibility

As of 15th May 2020, there is no quarantine for EU residents entering Slovenia, while non-EU citizens have to stay in quarantine. International flights from Ljubljana airport to the European Union and third countries resumed on 12 May 2020. Several airlines have announced plans to resume flights to/from Ljubljana in early June.

Personalised Activities

With two-thirds of the country covered in forest, Slovenia offers a widespread playground for outdoor activities, meeting passionate locals, tasting home-made delicacies and renowned wines (even orange wine) along the way.

Would you like to go bear watching and peacefully observe the Slovenian wild brown bear in its natural environment? How about an underground bike tour through the abandoned mine shafts?  Perhaps a gourmet food and wine exploration through the capital of Ljubljana?.... 

Intours DMC team has tons of ideas (and industry knowledge) to adapt your travel plans in Slovenia to the current situation.
