INTRODUCTION The Slovenian Tourist Board’s website pronounces that tourism is one of the most successful and promising industries in the Slovenian economy. The Board’s vision of Slovenia is to be “a green boutique global destination for high-end visitors seeking diverse and active experiences, peace, and personal benefits.”3. Accordingly, tourism law should be well developed in Slovenia in order to regulate the various relationships between tourists and various economic operators in tourism, such as tour operators, travel agents, carriers, providers of catering and accommodation, operators of tourist attractions and tour guides. This paper will first outline the administrative regulation of the tourist sector in Slovenia, followed by an overview of the statutory rules of Slovenian law of obligations concerning some types of tourism contracts. 1 PhD (University of Ljubljana), Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana, Secretary General at the Institute for Comparative Law at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana, matija.damjan@pf.uni-lj.si. 2 PhD (University of Ljubljana), LL.M.
