The project was created in order to bring together people with a heartfelt commitment to catering. People who work in tourism are Slovenia's future.

Our aim for this project is for it to be one of the supreme gastronomic experiences a person can have. The project is broadly conceived and offers numerous possibilities. Our vision is to satisfy the senses of the most demanding guests, to develop conference and wellness tourism and offer people the range of opportunities for relaxation offered by idyllic surroundings. Above all our aim is to treat every visitor as an individual. We hope to compete with hotels and restaurants of the highest category.

The Business Angels Club of Slovenia (hereinafter: the Club) is a network of successful entrepreneurs and executives interested in investing in promising start-up companies. As well as capital they offer them advice and access to their own extensive business networks. In view of the great untapped potential of tourism in Slovenia, the Club is very interested in tourism enterprise projects or tourism companies with the potential for rapid growth, excellent management and an outline investor exit strategy. Investments range from EUR 50,000 to 300,000. The two essential criteria are an investment period of between three and five years and a minimum 30-percent annual return.

The basic purposes of the Club are: identifying entrepreneurs ripe for equity financing, help in completing investment documentation and development of concepts, and bringing together entrepreneurs and the investors who are members of the Club. It is a point of contact for the most ambitious entrepreneurs and investors.

For the tourism sector the Business Angels Club of Slovenia and the Bank of Tourism Potentials in Slovenia have signed a cooperation agreement covering finding, evaluating, developing and investing in promising tourism idea deposits. In the sphere of tourism-related projects, the Club will give priority to those projects previously registered as BTPS idea deposits. The Club will be offered priority opportunities for investment in BTPS idea deposits in an investment range of EUR 50,000 to 300,000.
