The list does not offer a simple evaluation on the scale from 1 to 100 since the destinations are classified in different ways, also according to which region in the world they belong \u2013 thus they are divided into four regions (Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia-Pacific). 50 destinations from Europe have been included in the list. For example, only the Austrian Werfenweg and the Italian Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli have been included from the neighbouring countries, while none from Hungary or Croatia. At the global, general level the Portuguese Azores, an archipelago of volcanic origin lying in the middle of Atlantic Ocean, have been ranked as the most sustainable, attaining a grade of 8.9 of 10. The experts carried out the assessment according to the criteria delineated in six thematic areas: (1) nature, (2) environment, (3) culture and tradition, (4) social welfare, (5) green economy, and (6) green tourism policy certification. Maximum weight was put on the latter which relates to certification using the global indicators for sustainable destinations (GSTC, developed by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, as well as the tools based on these indicators, such as GSTR \u2013 Global Sustainable Tourism Review). Ljubljana received a high rating of 8 (nines were extremely rare) In all the initial five categories, while in the latter category (green tourism policy certification) it has not been rated yet as the assessment process using GSTR tool has not yet formally been fully completed \u2013 this assessment will shortly be added.

The event was visited by eminent guests, who, among else, spoke about the role the investments have in today\u2019s as well as future economic and social aspects.<\/div>\n<p><strong>The opening speech was given by Mr. Igor E. Bergant, who had the honour to present the special guests of the evening: Dr. Anna Elisabeth Prinz &#8211; German Ambassador in Slovenia, Igor Akrapovi\u010d &#8211; owner of the company Akrapovi\u010d, Denis O\u0161tir &#8211; journalist and editor at POP TV, Aj\u0161a Vodnik &#8211; executive director of AmCham Slovenija, Lothar Schupert &#8211; general manager at BMW Group Slovenija and Robert Trnovec &#8211; general manager at Microsoft Slovenija. <\/strong> Through the evening, the visitors could enjoy the cuisine specialties of Hotel Slon&#8217;s chefs and follow the dance performance of the ProDance group, while the sweet treat of the evening was provided by BMW Slovenija. In organizational terms, the event was pretty demanding, since the car was brought into the conference room through the window. Moreover, the whole process was the attraction for the passers-by and the event which made this gathering an extraordinary event. Gregor Jamnik, Director \/ General Manager of BEST WESTERN PREMIER Hotel Slon:<em> \u201cAt Best Western Premier Hotel Slon we focus on tailor made events. The launch of new BMW X6 luxury car was just perfect event for us. Medium size event, with not more than 120 participants which first participated in a great debate about innovation and future, after plenary part moved to the next hall where the new car was revealed. This took place on the 1st floor in our seminar and banquet halls where it is impossible to drive the car to. There are only elevators and stairs to the 1st floor, so people were truly amazed how on earth we managed to bring the car to this floor. When you think something is impossible, you need to step out of the box and rethink the whole situation. Then we got an idea to bring the car into the space through the window with a special external elevator. Our idea paid off as we totally surprised our guests and BMW company successfully launched their amazing new car. What a memorable event this was :-)&#8221;<\/em> More at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hotelslon.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.hotelslon.com\/en<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_46\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_47  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_47,\r\n                .tdi_47 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_47,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_47 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_47 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_47:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_47:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_49  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span8\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_49{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_49 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_49 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_49 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_49 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_49 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_50  tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_5\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_50\" ><div class=\"td-fix-index\"><h4>Grand Hotel Union with new promotional video<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_51  tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_5\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_51\" ><div class=\"td-fix-index\"><div class=\"C3710CmsNewsDateDiv CmsNewsDateDiv remarks\"><span class=\"cmsNewsDateDate\">20.12.2014<\/span> <span class=\"cmsNewsDateTime\">11:38<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"C3710CmsNewsTextDiv CmsNewsTextDiv\"><strong>Promotional Video Marketing has become one of the top forms of communicating benefits to a target audience.

The current numbers show promising results and indicate that the seventh Conventa will be the best one yet. From 21 to 22 January 2015 organizers expect more congress destinations than ever to be presented at the trade show. Organizers are sticking to the strict cretirea and confirming only serious meeting planners with great interest in New Europe. Last edition hosted meeting planners from 25 different countries, the upcoming Conventa will host more than 90 percent new buyers coming from 33 different contries.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><strong>Every corner of the exhibition floor will be filled<\/strong> The fact that Conventa opened the exhibitor area and invited also emerging destinations of New Europe to exhibit resulted in an increase of meetings destinations presented at the trade show. Last year the show hosted 12 great destinations of Central and South East Europe. Current numbers show that 15 New European destinations like Azerbaijan, Albania will be presenting the offer this time around and the exhibition floor will be filled with round <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conventa.si\/exhibitors\/exhibitor-list\/\" target=\"_blank\">140 exhibition booths<\/a>. <strong>Winners of the Conventa Wild Card are known<\/strong> Although the trade show has invited new destinations, the majority of the exhibition floor will remain reserved for the South East and Central European meetings providers. The strong players will once again be joined by meetings industry providers coming from countries with lower trade per capita. Conventa Wild Card, a chance to exhibit free of charge at Conventa 2015, was given to Carnet de Voyage from Croatia, Thessaloniki Convention Bureau from Greece and Tourist organization of Budva from Montenegro. <strong>Education as the biggest added value<\/strong> The boutique trade show will be enriched by a great <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conventa.si\/conventa\/professional-education\/\" target=\"_blank\">educational programme<\/a> featuring speakers like<strong>Martin Ferro-Thomsen<\/strong>, Founder of Conferize.com and Co-founder of Issuu.com, that will be speaking about events online and the digitalization of the meetings industry, <strong>Claudia Koehler<\/strong>, Corporate Vice President of one of the leading event marketing agencies worldwide VOK DAMS, will be explaining why live campaigns are the next big thing in marketing and <strong>Kevin Kelly<\/strong>, internationally acclaimed motivational speaker and authority on the success principles underpinning entrepreneurship, leadership, sales and motivation, who will be revealing the secret of \u201cxceptional\u201d execution in the meetings industry. Best practice examples, new destinations and great incentive programmes will be presented at <strong>Experts\u2019 Corner<\/strong> throuought Conventa, students from South East Europe will be able to participate at the <strong>IMEX-MPI-MCI Future Leaders Forum<\/strong>, while representatives of associations from South East Europe will be able to attend <strong>Association day<\/strong>, an educational programe at Conventa dedicated solely to associations.
