Marking the tourist offer in the city of Ljubljana has been performed every two years for the last 16 years, by a »secret guest« method. First part of the project consists of rating the restaurants, bars and coffee shops in Ljubljana and Region of Central Slovenia and the second part consists of rating shops in Ljubljana Old Town.
The expert commission assesses the providers according to carefully prepared criteria that are divided into four parts: quality of the offerings, quality of services, tidiness of the premises and the price-quality ratio.
As Ljubljana Tourism announced, the purpose of the LQ project is not a competition, but ensuring high quality offer and service in a certain destination, which is of high importance not only for the townspeople, but also for foreign and domestic visitors.
