In the Slovenia Green Consortium, we held the first ‘Green Shark Tank’ event, where destinations and businesses representatives did their best to convince the members of travel agencies that their green experience is the one that will impress guests.
What seemed like an interesting idea a few months ago turned out to be an excellent way to connect destinations and buyers. Everybody has done great in the shark pool, and I am sure some have already secured guests for the upcoming tourist season. Despite all the information on the websites, the live presentation enables real contact between partners, which is then the basis for further cooperation. We will definitely organize another event!
Thank you to all participants, we wish you a successful 2022 season!

Participants about the Green Shark Tank event:
Natalija Ramšak, Ramšak Tourist Farm
“Yesterday’s experience was a truly extraordinary event for our farm and a great motivation for further work! We are quite active, and we cooperate with destinations, clubs, etc. a lot, but the Green Shark Tank was something new for us. We will continue to work on our products and of course we will follow the suggestions and ideas of yesterday’s team. Thank you, everyone!”
Vita Jankovič, Metlika:
“Top, top, top! We definitely want more events like this because you get some sense of whether you are headed in the right direction or not, how to develop your ideas and so on. I’m looking forward to the following event and let this really become an annual practice!”
Renata Trajbar Kurbus, Sveta Ana:
“We were thrilled with the event, as it gave us some great feedback about how to further develop our unique experiences. We have been dealing with the challenge of how to attract agencies for a long time and we think this was a good start. Practical experience is the best. We want more of such events in the future, as they are a great added value.”
