LJUBLJANA, Slovenia, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Top athletes and ambassadors of Slovenian tourism, including cycling aces Tadej

Pogacar and Primoz Roglic, are making a key contribution towards increasing the

attention of the world - including media, sports fans and the consumer - and

strengthening Slovenia's reputation as a destination for outstanding active

experiences in nature and the great outdoors. To celebrate the latest occasion,

the Slovenian Tourism Board (STB) has released a new promotional video starring

Pogacar and Roglic.

The second overall consecutive victory of Tadej Pogacar, Matej Mohoric's two

stage victories and Primoz Roglic's hearty fight at this year's Tour de France

have contributed to the extraordinary growth of Slovenia's recognition as a

cycling superpower in the world. The STB, which strengthens the recognition of

Slovenia as a country of top athletes, a destination for active holidays and a

host of major sporting events, also this year carried out an extensive

communicational campaign and a number of promotional activities.

The STB has launched a series of videos, including Tour de France's Tadej

Pogacar and Primoz Roglic. In the video
