Why New Zealand?

The country of Manuka honey, Maori culture and great natural diversity

  • There are some of the most diverse environments on earth, from beaches and rainforests to mountains, lakes, glaciers and even volcanoes. Many of these different natural features can be visited on the same day.
  • Mānuka honey is a monofloral honey produced in Australia and New Zealand from the nectar of the mānuka tree. The honey is commonly sold as an alternative medicine.
  • The people. New Zealanders are naturally warm and friendly people and are particularly hospitable to tourists. Wherever you go you will receive a friendly smile and a warm welcome.
  • Crime is low in New Zealand and as a tourist you are unlikely to encounter problems. Furthermore, there are virtually no lethal creatures amongst New Zealand's wildlife so you can explore without concern for being bitten or eaten!
  • New Zealand was inhabited by the local native people, the Maori before the arrival of the Europeans in the 1700s. New Zealand today is a fascinating blend of cultures who mingle and thrive in a peaceful yet vibrant society.

"Slovenia - one small and charming country, where you like to return."

“Slovenia - one small and charming country, where you like to return. The beauty is everywhere in the nature and in the way of living. Honey, the symbol of sweetness and love is a part in the children education. It looks like a space where the spirit of the bees lives free."

(Dr. Cristina Aosan, Member in the Apitherapy Commission of Apimondia, Vicepresident of the Romanian Apitherapy Society).
