ip07052801-sloveniaexplorer

Student self-initiative project: The first virtual tourist guide to Slovenia. This will be aimed at foreign and domestic tourists equally, since it will enable the planning of both long stays and simple Sunday outings. The portal www.sloveniaexplorer.com is currently already operating in the Gorenjska region. Our strategy is to offer free advertising for all facilities included in the display. In this way we would like to create a complete tourism portal offering all the information tourists need.

We are seeking additional finance and work premises.

ip07052001_austro-hungary

Outline draft of a tourism package suitable for marketing in travel agencies and other organisations where several-day trips are marketed. The idea involves the creation of a train journey following the route of the former Southern Railway of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from the 19th century. Although the line has remained in operation to the present day, it is not marketed in the tourism sense as a retail travel package.

Details in the BTPS archive. I am seeking buyers for the idea. I wish to take part in the realisation of the project.

ip07051501_wooden vessels

The purpose of the idea is the construction of wooden vessels (an example of an active project can be seen in the photograph) for river and coastal panoramic transport, boat hire or charter. Vessels of the "houseboat" type can be used as small hotels, clinics, workshops, cafés, etc. As well as the construction of a wooden vessel the idea offers the realisation of entertainment/education programmes on the vessels. Suitable locations for the realisation of the project include Slovenia's larger rivers, which flow through cities (Maribor, Novo Mesto, Ljubljana, etc.), the coast and lakes. Thanks to their attractive appearance, wooden vessels add variety to the location and services with high added value. Larger vessels can be used to hold events, parties, seminars, culinary events, meetings, workshops, themed journeys, etc. I am looking for partners to finance the idea and buyers.

(€ deposit) ep07051305-toomodern

This farm building (barn), converted into a 650m2 exhibition space called the MUSEUM OF TOO-MODERN ART, has attracted a large number of foreign and domestic cultural tourists, art experts and ordinary members of the public, who have reacted enthusiastically to the works on exhibition and to the concept of the museum. Too-modernism is a young movement which in a very original manner has captured contemporary art trends at home and around the world. The Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana commemorated us as a special phenomenon at the U3 1995-2005 exhibition.

We are located very close to the geometric centre of the Republic of Slovenia and wish to link our activity with tourism in the direction of a universal artistic residential centre. We are seeking funds to renovate the museum and are offering the use of all the buildings on the farm (120 years old and with a carters' inn in a poor state of repair), which, like the barn, we hope to dedicate to different artistic genres and tourism.
