Both arrivals and overnight stays were around 11% higher than in the previous year.<\/p><p>The new nonstop flight removes one of the biggest obstacles for American travellers: the need to connect through airports such as Frankfurt, Munich, Z\u00fcrich, Paris or Amsterdam.<\/p><p>Instead, travellers will be able to board in the New York area and arrive directly in Slovenia the following morning.<\/p><p>For Slovenia, that could mean easier access for <strong>leisure travellers, business visitors, the Slovenian diaspora and high-spending international guests<\/strong>, while also making the country more competitive as a standalone European destination.<\/p><div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/en\/promo-2\/day-tour-from-ljubljana-see-the-best-of-slovenia\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Day Tour from Ljubljana: See the Best of Slovenia\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/107;max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours.png\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours.png 1476w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-1024x727.png 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-768x545.png 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-592x420.png 592w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-150x107.png 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-696x494.png 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-1068x758.png 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-600x426.png 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"107\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours.png\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours.png 1476w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-1024x727.png 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-768x545.png 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-592x420.png 592w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-150x107.png 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-696x494.png 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-1068x758.png 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Slovenia-Day-Tours-600x426.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Day Tour from Ljubljana: See the Best of Slovenia<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">A guided day tour from ljubljana is the easiest way to experience the very best of Slovenia in a single, well-planned day, without the stress of driving, parking or planning routes yourself.
