ip08052911-better_Primorska

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). My idea is challenging but feasible! My aim is to raise the young and young at heart up onto their feet, and motivate them to make their Primorska surroundings more attractive and pleasing to the eye! Children would be taken care of, young people would work at full stretch, older people would help, they would guide tourists and guide us. If you want nicer local surroundings, more events and a revival of old customs, contact me!

ip08052909-wilderness_within_reach

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Wilderness within reach; fulfillable dreams that will awaken in you a real desire for a true experience, grilling steaks on an open fire, sleeping under the gentle stars… You will be enchanted with the fantastic experiencing of nature, wild animals, forest, plant life and more. You will be intoxicated by the smell of winter snow, inspired by the freshness of spring, enamoured of the summer breezes and surprised at the colours of autumn. Whether or not this Kočevje fairy-tale is a short experience for the senses or a long spoiling of yourself. The wilderness, wilderness within reach will always be there to draw you in.

ip08052906-the_kingdom_of_green_theme_park

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). The Kingdom of Green Gold theme park has been established in the area of the Lower Savinja Valley, and it is based in essence on the literary heritage and oral tradition of the valley.

ip08052904-eco_villages

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Eco villages are a way of approaching the thinking and philosophy behind a sustainable way of life, which would be transferred to the Slovenian land, a land characterised by beautiful nature but also by the threat of its destruction. The eco village is a bold idea offering a solution for the survival of the Slovenian countryside and farmers, preservation of nature and improvement of people’s health, not to mention the possibilities for developing sustainable tourism. This way of life will enable the long-term survival and development of humans. By establishing ecological family villages at carefully considered locations (in existing and future parks), we could transfer this approach to the majority population in the local area, surroundings, region and country, and this would bring greater attractiveness in the eyes of nature lovers, since people could actually function according to the principle “think globally, act locally” and in this way help to nurture and protect nature for all of us.

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). The sales gallery space in the old city centre of Novo mesto presents the crafts people of the local area, creators who are not yet established, their distribution and other actors in the field of culture and tourism. The House of Cult-tours will be divided thematically into three sections: cultural heritage, modern culture and cultural info.

ip08052905-sales_of_hotel_capacities_through_ the_ auction

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Through a new approach (already tested and operating) to sales I want to fill vacant hotel capacities, especially in periods that are not attractive for guests (pre- and post-season dates, individual days during the week) through a system where the potential guest himself offers a price for the room. In the event that the offered price is acceptable to the hotel, the reservation will be confirmed, otherwise the reservation is not confirmed, and the guest is offered the lowest room price acceptable for the hotel.

ip08052903-camp_of_yurts

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). I wish to set up a summer camp of yurts in the area of the Karst, in an oak forest surrounded by pastureland, where sheep and goats would graze and also give milk, from which we would make fresh food. The camp would comprise 15-20 yurts and one cabin providing a kitchen, reception, washroom, common room and furniture. We would also establish an interpretive trail and a grass playing field, and a guide would present how people used to live. Through various customs as well as old and new games, guests would get to know each other and have fun, and in this way come truly close.

We would establish a relaxed atmosphere, which is a good precondition for daytime activities. The wider area surrounding the camp would also be properly arranged (walls repaired, trails marked etc.)

Activities at the camp and around it would involve: various herding games, singing, stories, making instruments and implements from wood and stone. Guests would also be offered plenty of local food, which would be prepared from fresh ingredients. Guests could also be involved in various works, customs, habits, practices and events.

ip08052902-small_hotel_of_Turistica

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). The Turistica tourism academy could operate a small hotel in Portorož. In the hotel students could do their practical training by running the entire system independently.

On the ground floor there would be an internet café, or a gathering place for short excursions to Istria, in order to take advantage of the just-completed course on Istrian treasures entitled Heart of Istria (Path of the Gods, Frescos, Fortified Istria, Venetian Heritage). Professional material is currently available and it would be a real shame not to use it. A group of guides offering these programmes could also work here. I think that there would be no shortage of manpower, or of good ideas for various offers and services.

ip08052901-agorafonia

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Agoraphonia is a project of musical animation aimed at coming together in a square, where various musical genres of the world are presented and meet. The project involves the collaboration of 1 or more brass bands, 1 or more choirs, other musical groups (percussionists, folk musicians), 1 flautist, 1 violinist, 1 saxophonist, 4 rock guitarists, 3 theatre performers, a clown on stilts, jugglers, puppeteers, street performers, hawkers, mimes, majorettes and so forth – no one is absolutely essential, but the more the merrier.
Interaction with members of the public that join with the performers. In addition to these the project envisages the participation of a further 40 to 60 musicians maximum (students, teachers, amateurs and professionals), who would participate in 3 daily workshops, where together with the leaders they would determine the musicality of the square, everything in the square that can be turned into an instrument or percussion, and they would also participate in directing and set-up. A group of children drawing to live music could also participate. The event could be staged in Piran and then repeated in Milje (Muggia, Italy).

A proposal has been formulated for (1) routes, (2) a guidebook with a description of the falls and locales and (3) a CD with photos of the falls and stories about them.
