The Power of Partnership: Why the International Ski Federation (FIS) Loves Returning to Portorož

In the latest interview for Kongres Magazine, Caroline Ris, Travel Director and COO at FIS Travel, and Mojca Gobina Mravlje, Head of MICE Sales at Sava Hotels & Resorts, shared their insights on building successful partnership bonds. Through their long-standing collaboration in organizing high-level meetings for the International Ski Federation (FIS) at the Bernardin Resort in Portorož, they demonstrate how business contacts in the Slovenian meetings industry quickly evolve into genuine, long-term partnerships.

The interlocutors note that while the first event at a destination is usually won with an attractive proposal, every subsequent edition relies entirely on mutual trust. In addition to Slovenia’s stunning natural beauty, international organizers are most surprised by the high professional maturity of our congress infrastructure and the exceptional agility of local teams. For FIS Travel, Portorož represents an ideal choice as it offers world-class meeting rooms and accommodation under one roof right by the sea, which greatly simplifies logistics and encourages informal networking among delegates. Caroline Ris, who proudly holds the title of International Congress Ambassador, emphasizes that this recognition gives her a new impetus to promote our country among her international peers.
