Most of them travelled for private purposes, as many as 989,000 citizens of Slovenia (56%), while 10% travelled for business purposes.
Most of the tourist trips, 64%, were made abroad. Nearly all trips were private, and the number of trips abroad increased compared with the same period in 2021. Croatia was the most popular foreign destination again this year, and it was the choice of 70% of the tourists travelling for private purposes. (Hina)
