In Slovenia, tourism has recorded constant growth since 1992, and the number of overnight stays has tripled in the 1930s. We recorded particularly high growth in the last five years before the pandemic, and Slovenia established itself as an attractive green destination. In 2021 and 2022, the arrivals and overnight stays of domestic guests increased, but the share of foreign guests dropped significantly due to the pandemic. Otherwise, trips by households of all size categories declined in Slovenia in 2020, especially for single-member households. In the same year, we spent the most funds on visiting natural and cultural attractions (117 EUR/average expenditure per tourist per overnight stay), followed by sports activities and health care, for which we spent around 50 EUR/average expenditure per tourist per overnight stay.
