Idrija is a tourist destination, hiding in the southeast of Slovenia. Even though it offers a varied offer of attractions and activities it is often overlooked by tourists. The Municipality of Idrija is located in the area of UNESCO Global Geopark Idrija, an area with outstanding natural and cultural heritage that UNESCO Global Geopark Idrija wants to educate about and protect.
In my thesis, I designed the tourist information point of UNESCO Global geopark Idrija, which is today physically represented only in a form of the exhibition Written in the Rocks and brochures. For the development of the thesis, I reached out to UNESCO Global Geopark Idrija, Tourist Information Centre Idrija and Idrija Tourism Board and with their cooperation tried to design a practical and realistic solution that would equip the visitors with information about the protected area and its cultural specialities. Designed tourist point will follow Idrija's ranking on
the list of Slovenia’s green destinations, becoming an entrance and information point for visitors before the planned construction of the entrance point in geopark.
