Faces of Tourism (Obrazi turizma) is a podcast created within the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Faculty of Tourism Studies – Turistica, University of Primorska. It reveals the stories and experiences of experts and dedicated professionals from the tourism industry. Guests share behind-the-scenes insights into this dynamic field that connects people, cultures, and places. Each episode offers a unique perspective on the world of tourism through personal narratives and valuable experiences.
In the new episode of the Faces of Tourism podcast, we hosted Darko Klemen, the winner of the second season of MasterChef Slovenia. A true Maribor native who moved to the coast for love and now runs two restaurants there. Why culinary arts, what kind of guests he likes best, all the ways a wooden spoon can be used, how his mom used to cook Sunday lunch, and which oil is better – pumpkin seed or olive. Lots of interesting stories in one of the most entertaining episodes of the Faces of Tourism podcast.
We explored all this and more in the latest episode of Faces of Tourism, hosted by student Ana Šenk.
