It was crazy day full of innovations. We talked
about theory, came up with awesome ideas how to develop Portorož. There were
eight teams and soon there will be eight very cool things tourists can do in
the area, as we got one minute to introduce our ideas to mayor of the Portorož
(ok it was not a real mayor but the man with power, anyway). In the future tourists can drive around by
velo-taxi, horses and cable car, buy food from local food festival, sleep in
tents hanging from the trees and eat seafood while wearing tuxedo and sitting
in water.
There are so many new things Slovenians have
already done to promote their country. They invented the Bank of tourism
potentials in Slovenia, where everybody can make a “deposite”. You can check it
out:
We managed to jump into the sea for five
minutes during our break between lectures because sea is from across the road
of the school (how cool is that, right?!). Students in Turistica are lucky.
In the evening we took a part of international
evening, where we got to know other cultures, their habits, traditions and
dances. The food and wine degustation was very interesting and tasty
experience. We tasted wine, cheese, ham and fantastic sweets from each
presented country, found out that in Portugal there are stones that give birth
to baby stones and in Croatia there is organ that sea plays and people can sit
on the shore enjoying the music. Most fun was for sure the part where we got to
dance with senior dancers from Slovenian folklore dance group. The Dutch put up
a wonderful play about tourist exploring the Netherlands. And we, crazy and
wild Estonians, taught everybody our traditional dance Kaera-Jaan, made special
black bread sandwiches with egg and sprats and offered everybody kama.
All the countries are so different and
interesting but there is one common thing that joins us together – Innovative
Marketing of Costal Destination Summer School 2013.
Bravo for the video!!! ;)
