More Travel Choices From USTOA Tour Operators to Visit Slovenia in 2020

WHY IT RATES: For those who enjoy Europe's Old-World charms, as well as lesser-known cultural hotspots, USTOA has highlighted Slovenia as an up-and-coming travel destination with itineraries available from multiple major tour operators. — Laurie Baratti, TravelPulse Associate Writer

A fairytale destination, filled with castles, caves, and baby dragons; Slovenia is emerging as a popular destination for travelers looking to explore lesser-known corners of the world. Located in the Balkans, this Central European country offers hot springs and pristine lakes for swimming, alpine hiking, and nature-themed wellness spas. The tour operator members of United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) bring travelers off-the-beaten-path to these types of local hotspots and hidden gems that they may not easily find on their own.

Slovenia is the setting of Episode 5 of Recalculating, a travel video series with comedian Harrison Greenbaum, filmed in off-the-beaten-path destinations to showcase the unparalleled group travel experiences offered by USTOA tour operators. With local guides, insider knowledge, and industry expertise, travelers have the opportunity to discover a destination’s food, history, and culture on another level.
