TU Ski & Spa Workshop 2025 – Ready for new winter challenges

By successfully combining supply and demand in a unique B2B format, the TU Ski & Spa Workshop confirmed its position as the leading event for winter tourism in Southeast Europe.

Connecting tourism professionals in the field of winter tourism and introducing new destinations, products, and services has been strengthened this year with a new part of the TU Workshop portfolio, a carefully designed and long-awaited addition called TU Event Booster. As in this previous Workshop, TU Event Booster will continue to connect human resources and employer branding experts, as well as corporate event and travel managers, with leading hotels from Serbia and the wider region.

The largest number of exhibitors came from Slovenia, as many as 24. Hotels and resorts presented their exceptional offer: ATLANTIDA BOUTIQUE HOTEL, BOHINJ ECO HOTEL, GRAND HOTEL BELLEVUE POHORJE, GRAND HOTEL SAVA, HABAKUK WELLNESS & EVENT HOTEL, KOPE MOUNTAIN RESORT, RADISSON BLU PLAZA LJUBLJANA, ROGLA SKI RESORT & TERME ZREČE SPA, HIT ALPINEA, as well as SAVA HOTELS & RESORTS. In addition to them, there were tourist organizations and destinations such as JULIAN ALPS, KOROŠKA TOURIST BOARD, MARIBOR TOURIST BOARD, ŠALEŠKA VALLEY TOURIST BOARD, and SLOVENIAN TOURIST BOARD. As every year, the undivided attention of the participants of the event was won by the very popular Slovenian spas: RIMSKE TERME, THERMANA LAŠKO, TERME ČATEŽ, TERME DOBRNA, TERME OLIMIA, TERME SNOVIK - KAMNIK, TERME TOPOLŠICA, TERME VIVAT and TERME BANOVCI.

This time we had as many as 13 exhibitors from Serbia, so the mountain hotels and resorts presented their offers to the participants: BOR HOTEL BY KARISMA, HOTEL ZLATIBOR, and VILLA BOROVA WELLNESS&SPA RESORT from Zlatibor, then from Kopaonik: GORSKI HOTEL & SPA, GREY HOTEL, and VICEROY KOPAONIK. Spa tourism in Serbia was presented to us by: FRUŠKE TERME RESORT & RESIDENCES, HOTEL SUNCE SOKOBANJA, HOTEL TONANTI, and PLANINKA HOTELS. We also had the opportunity to get acquainted with the congress and other capacities of the Belgrade hotel MONA PLAZA, and the web platforms: EASY EVENT MANAGER and wMENU attracted special attention. This year, the luxury resort ONE&ONLY PORTONOVI was presented to us from Montenegro.

As in previous years, we had exhibitors from outside the borders of the former Yugoslavia, namely the Austrian hotel: ALMRESORTS NASSFELD, while the Italian tourism organization PROMOFALCADE DOLOMITI participated. Also, our eastern neighbors exhibited at the event, so we had the web platform TOUCHMENU from Bulgaria.

Of course, we should mention our partners, BARCAFFE, wMENU, CARD PRINT, and SLOVENIAN TOURIST BOARD, who truly made an exceptional contribution to this event, and without whom the organization would not have been possible.

In the end, TU Ski & Spa Workshop 2025 was not only an opportunity to showcase new destinations and innovative services, but also an opportunity to strengthen ties between key players in the industry. This very successful event also foreshadowed the next vision, which, in our organization as TU Sun & Sea Workshop, should take place on February 5th next year.
