UP Faculty of Tourism Studies – Turistica

Imagining the Karst Through Images and Words

Turistica hosted the opening of the photographic and literary exhibition Imagining the Karst Through Images and Words in its lobby in Portorož. Through photographs by Rafael Marn and poetry by Srečko Kosovel, the exhibition invites visitors to discover the Karst landscape, its heritage, and the poet's inner world. The exhibition will be on display in the lobby of Turistica until the end of 2026. You are warmly invited to visit!

IRTP 2027

Turistica will host the 18th International Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage Conference (IRTP 2027) in June 2027. This prestigious international academic event takes place in a different European destination each year and will be held in Slovenia for the first time in 2027. At Turistica, we are proud to host an event that will bring international experts in religious tourism, pilgrimage and cultural heritage to Slovenian Istria.

Dean’s Address

Dear students, dear colleagues, A new academic year marks a new beginning, bringing new knowledge, experiences, connections, as well as new challenges and opportunities. I would especially like to extend a warm welcome to all of you who are entering Turistica for the first time this year. You have chosen to study a field whose importance today is perhaps greater than we sometimes realise.
