You just go
Photo exebition: You just go
Rožle Bregar, a photographer, filmmaker, traveler, alpinist, juggler, a guy of many talents. In 2010 he graduated from Sport photography on Institute and Academy for Multimedia in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In his early childhood he was introduced to the beauty of Slovenian mountains and that was probably the main reason he started competing climbing. After he had to give it up, photography and later on cinematography became one of his priorities in life.

Debate: Pre-trourism and outdoor sports
Nature and outdoor sports activities are one of the main tourist consumer offers in Slovenia, a country widely known as a green tourist destination. The rapid growth of tourism in the last couple of years has, however, reached a point where the infrastructure, services and nature itself are stretched to their limits. Traffic jams, the lack of sufficient parking spaces and overcrowding in tourist destinations such as the Soča river, some Alpine valleys, a few particular and popular mountain routes, lakes and shops have all sparked a debate concerning the future and overall capacity of this beautiful green valley to provide quality and adequate services to all visitors on one hand, while also provoking a new line of thinking concerning the overall conduct and behaviour of visitors and locals alike, on the other hand. How and why is our beautiful nature threatened due to overcrowding? How is the overall experience of visiting our nature compromised? Do massive crowds actually devalue the very thing we offer and love the most, i.e. our precious nature? Should we limit the tourist flow or expand our infrastructure? Should we also re-evaluate the pricing formats and push for adequate awareness and upbringing? These are all the burning issues we must deal with in the coming years or risk losing the very thing which is most precious to us.
