How about "The Jewel in Europe's crown", if we're coming up with suggestions! Bit fanciful, I know. Dr Fil,

I likes it!

How about “The Jewel in Europe’s crown”, if we’re coming up with suggestions!

Bit fanciful, I know.

Slovenia: the Hidden Pearl
revealed only to the worthy

BTW if your really want to upset a nation, try telling Scots that they're part of ENGLAND, a mistake often made by Americans and on BBC radio phone-ins, and watch the fur fly. Dr. Fil,

“Slovenia for the Discerning” should do it!

Obviously that's due to our ignorance, but we need to be educated somehow if we're going to travel in increased numbers. Which might not be a good idea (for Slovenia!). Dr Fil,

Can you imagine advertising Ireland as "the place that's close to the UK"? Yikes! @Colleague ARF: you guys are always welcome here as you know ;-) and we'll handle JJ, too. @Binula: Yep, Slovenia's the one and only and simply the best ;-) But we need a bigger cut of the tourism market... though we should also be picky about its structure... right? @Adriaan: I agree we could use a nice brand or logo, but we have several motifs to choose from and really no need to include another country in it.

I completely concur, but to have that belief it seems you have to go there (or already live there) to appreciate the fact. Which is surely the point of having a logo or brand! Dr. Arf.
