An article was published on the Forbes magazine website last week toasting the new "hot" wine destinations. Slovenia is also listed as one of them. In the article, journalist Nicole Trilivas described Slovenia as a destination that should be on every oenophile’s radar for this year and beyond. She highlighted Maribor and the Dolenjska region and mentioned the Michelin-star restaurant Gostilna pri Lojzetu.

Last week, Slovenia found itself on another list; an important medium, Yahoo Finance, has placed Slovenia on the list of eco-friendly destinations to visit in 2021. This is mainly because Slovenia boasts the title of the world's first green country, and in 2016 the capital of Ljubljana also became the Green Capital of Europe.
