  • Faces of Tourism | Mojca Polak: “The uniform is an important part of our professional attitude”

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.

Mojca Polak, Director of the College of Hospitality and Tourism Maribor, has been involved in hospitality since childhood. Coming from a hospitality family, she was educated in the field and has now been teaching future hospitality professionals for 25 years. At VSGT Maribor, they are happy to send their students to competitions—first at the national and then at the international level—although Mojca notes that the desire to compete and appear in public is declining. What challenges do their students face? What is her role at the school? What is her favorite destination? And why is a “review” today the equivalent of a tip? Find out more in the new episode of the Faces of Tourism podcast.

The podcast is hosted by student Ana Šenk. The podcast is in Slovenian language.
