We received Creator award!
Slovenian Tourism Board organised 12. Tourism Forum in Radenci this December. Main topic of the event was Green Tourism and how does it affect Slovenian tourism. The seminars were interesting and gave us some new ideas how to be more nature friendly with our business. Special guest of the Forum was Mr. Taleb Rifai, general secretary of World Tourism Organisation. The theme of the evening event was Taste Slovenia where culinary delicacies from all Slovenia regions were represented.
The reason we attended this event is that we were nominees for the award Snovalec (Creator) 2009. The Creator competition is organised by STB and BTPS (Bank of Tourism Potentials) and is given to reward successful innovations in tourism and to encourage creativity and innovation in Slovenian tourism. This year there were more than 60 different ideas and projects competing – Adriatic2Alps Photography Tours was one of them. And we were one of the four finalists that received the award! Yeeha!
Yes, we got the Creator 2009! What does it mean? Beside financial support it is a recognition to our work and confirmation that we are on the right way with Photography Tours. The reason we received this award is; “A2A Photography Tours is encouraging boutique tourism with high added value that helps developing tourism offer of local communities and helps promoting Slovenia in an innovative way.”
