The most famous tourist center on the Slovenian coast, with only 3,000 inhabitants,\u00a0Portoroz is a city that will be a pleasant surprise for every visitor to its many\u00a0and varied attractions.

\n

Different accommodation\u00a0for a variety of experiences

\n

Portoroz and its surroundings offer\u00a0a wide choice of accommodation to\u00a0guests, whether they are participants\u00a0at various events or individual\u00a0visitors. The first that come to\u00a0mind are hotels along the seaside promenade and offering world class\u00a0services. Foremost among them are\u00a0certainly the five-star Grand Hotel\u00a0Bernardin and other hotels belonging\u00a0to the Hoteli Bernandin group.

\n

For guests wanting to experience\u00a0the luxury of old times, Kempinski\u00a0Palace Portoroz might be the right\u00a0choice. The hotel was built in 1908\u00a0and has always been a tourist facility\u00a0of the highest category, in addition to being a cultural landmark.

Those who would like to try something\u00a0different from hotels, can look\u00a0for accommodation in the many\u00a0nearby villages. They are spotted\u00a0by stone-built houses, perched on\u00a0hilltops, with a view of the Alps and\u00a0overlooking the sea, olive groves,\u00a0vineyards, and valleys. Some of the\u00a0better known villages are Strunjan,\u00a0Nova Vas, Padna, St. Peter…

\n

From the most modern to\u00a0medieval event venues

\n

Portoroz boasts several state-of-the-art convention centers, offering\u00a0a large number of meeting rooms. The largest of them seating 1,200\u00a0participants. Also, outside the standard\u00a0congress facilities, events can also\u00a0be organized in the more unconventional surroundings, no less than in\u00a0the warehouse of salt.

\u201cSpice up\u201d\u00a0the team spirit

\n

Organizers of team building activities have a wide range of water and team sports to choose from, all supported by a large number of well-maintained sports facilities, or they can opt for bicycle or walking tours of the peninsula.
\nMany activities can be organized at other locations, but producing salt in the way it was made 700 years ago is an experience few other places can offer their visitors.

Salt played an important part in history and was the main source of wealth through the ages. A small part of the Strunjan salt flats has been preserved. The salt-pans in Secovlje Salina Nature Park is one of the few places in the world where salt is still collected in the traditional way.
\nThe first image to leave a lasting impression on any participant is the fantastic landscape of the salt fields.

\n

After a tour of these fields and the historic tale of the harmony between man and nature, teams could compete in the traditional method of producing salt.

Rally, which will welcome Harley-Davidson owners from across Europe and the world.\u00a0Starting on Thursday, 16th\u00a0June 2016, the H.O.G. Rally, as the social gathering of the year for Members, is expected to gather 25,000 visitors over the weekend.\n

Charlie Alger is a long-standing Account Director at Goose Live Events bringing his extensive experience in both corporate and public events to the Harley-Davidson festivals across Europe, as Event Manager for the European H.O.G. Rally.

\n

Q:\u00a0Can you tell us something about the client and client\u2019s (Harley Davidson) needs regarding the event?

\n

Charlie: Harley-Davidson fulfil dreams inspired by the many great roads of the world by providing extraordinary motorcycles and customer experiences. They fuel the passion for freedom and allow customers to express their own individuality. Harley-Davidson motorcycles feature powerful engines with an extensive range offering sportsters, touring and street bikes.

\n

This June will see the 25th\u00a0European H.O.G. Rally come to Portoroz, Slovenia.

\n

The beautiful seaside town will provide a fantastic home for the event which will welcome Harley-Davidson owners from across Europe and the world.

\n

The last two events were held in Puerto Sherry in Spain, Biograd in Croatia and before that the 110th\u00a0Anniversary H.O.G. Rally was held in Rome.\u00a0Goose Live Events were employed by Harley-Davidson Europe to help them find a location for the event following their work on the 2015 H.O.G. Rally in Spain. Portoroz was mentioned and following some remote investigation and an initial visit to the town, the plan was crafted.

\n

The H.O.G. Rally is the social gathering of the year for Members.

\n

It is a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones, sharing the discovery of a new part of Europe and new roads to ride. 25,000 visitors are expected over the weekend.

\n

Q: What was the main challenge in organization of this event?

\n

Charlie: With such a large scale event over a large public venue there are a lot of stakeholders to consult with. The local authorities have been very supportive and their involvement is vital in bringing all necessary stakeholders together in delivering an exciting open to all event.

\n

\n

Q: How hard was it to find proper location?

\n

Charlie:\u00a0It is extremely difficult to find a location that lends itself to this kind of event, there are many key elements we need to create the environment and atmosphere of a H.O.G. Rally. Portoroz ticks all the boxes \u2013 roads, access, accommodation and a friendly environment. Other venues were considered and some are being looked at for future years. \u00a0

\n

Q: Why did you choose Portoroz?

\n

Charlie:\u00a0Portoroz was selected as it provides a beautiful coastal setting for the event with fantastic roads, in a central part of Europe making access for the majority of members a few days ride. The friendly people, bars, restaurants and the wide range of accommodation will make for an extremely enjoyable event.

\n

The town itself has some open spaces that lend themselves to creating an \u201copen for all\u201d event, allowing not just the hard core members to get involved. It will take place over three days starting on Thursday 16th\u00a0June 2016 with live music each night on the main square opposite the Grand Hotel Portoroz.

\n", "content_text": "This June, Portoroz in Slovenia will be a perfect set for the 25th\u00a0European H.O.G. Rally, which will welcome Harley-Davidson owners from across Europe and the world.\u00a0Starting on Thursday, 16th\u00a0June 2016, the H.O.G. Rally, as the social gathering of the year for Members, is expected to gather 25,000 visitors over the weekend.\nCharlie Alger is a long-standing Account Director at Goose Live Events bringing his extensive experience in both corporate and public events to the Harley-Davidson festivals across Europe, as Event Manager for the European H.O.G. Rally.\nQ:\u00a0Can you tell us something about the client and client\u2019s (Harley Davidson) needs regarding the event?\nCharlie: Harley-Davidson fulfil dreams inspired by the many great roads of the world by providing extraordinary motorcycles and customer experiences. They fuel the passion for freedom and allow customers to express their own individuality. Harley-Davidson motorcycles feature powerful engines with an extensive range offering sportsters, touring and street bikes.\nThis June will see the 25th\u00a0European H.O.G. Rally come to Portoroz, Slovenia. \nThe beautiful seaside town will provide a fantastic home for the event which will welcome Harley-Davidson owners from across Europe and the world.\nThe last two events were held in Puerto Sherry in Spain, Biograd in Croatia and before that the 110th\u00a0Anniversary H.O.G. Rally was held in Rome.\u00a0Goose Live Events were employed by Harley-Davidson Europe to help them find a location for the event following their work on the 2015 H.O.G. Rally in Spain. Portoroz was mentioned and following some remote investigation and an initial visit to the town, the plan was crafted.\nThe H.O.G. Rally is the social gathering of the year for Members. \nIt is a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones, sharing the discovery of a new part of Europe and new roads to ride. 25,000 visitors are expected over the weekend.\nQ: What was the main challenge in organization of this event?\nCharlie: With such a large scale event over a large public venue there are a lot of stakeholders to consult with. The local authorities have been very supportive and their involvement is vital in bringing all necessary stakeholders together in delivering an exciting open to all event.\n\nQ: How hard was it to find proper location? \nCharlie:\u00a0It is extremely difficult to find a location that lends itself to this kind of event, there are many key elements we need to create the environment and atmosphere of a H.O.G. Rally. Portoroz ticks all the boxes \u2013 roads, access, accommodation and a friendly environment. Other venues were considered and some are being looked at for future years. \u00a0\nQ: Why did you choose Portoroz?\nCharlie:\u00a0Portoroz was selected as it provides a beautiful coastal setting for the event with fantastic roads, in a central part of Europe making access for the majority of members a few days ride. The friendly people, bars, restaurants and the wide range of accommodation will make for an extremely enjoyable event.\nThe town itself has some open spaces that lend themselves to creating an \u201copen for all\u201d event, allowing not just the hard core members to get involved. It will take place over three days starting on Thursday 16th\u00a0June 2016 with live music each night on the main square opposite the Grand Hotel Portoroz.\nQ: Is there any increase of demand for South East European countries as a new location? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \nCharlie:\u00a0H.O.G.
