Melania Trump smiles at passersby on a highway in Sevnica, Solvenia that reads “Welcome to the Hometown of First Lady” — a billboard that represents more than a celebration of its most famous citizen. The number of tourists in Slovenia rose by 8 percent year-on-year in March, with tourists booking overnight stays jumping a whopping 30.6 percent and tourists visiting by 22.5 percent, CNBC reported using data from the government’s statistics office.
“Analysts said domestic tourist figures reflected improved economic conditions in Slovenia, a country which narrowly avoided an international bailout for its banks in 2013 but expects economic growth of 3.6 percent this year versus 2.5 percent in 2016,” CNBC reported.
The unemployment rate also has improved — although no direct connection to the first lady is implicated — from 12 percent in March 2016 to 10.2 percent in March 2017.

Maybe if michelle obama would have been proud of her home country instead of hating it she would have increased tourism too.
Melania Reflects American Woman.
Well this one at least!
Join me.
Happy to say I have been there!! It IS beautiful...their Capital looks like a little Vienna.
This is indeed the loveliest of all First ladies....inside and out.
Imagine that! Thousands of liberal reporters are going to Slovenia to dig up dirt on the First Lady!
This trip must be hard on Barron. He’s never had a nanny. Wonder who is with him??
I think her sister & parents are with him.
Absolutely. The only ones who come close are Martha Washington, Dolly Madison and Nancy Reagan.
He could be hanging out with his brothers and their families.
Probably lots of single men going there.
He is 11 years old.
I would love to see it - Nat Geo has a hiking trip there which sounds amazing. Very tempted. It includes a brief time in the capital, but not Melania’s hometown which I think is east of there.
But who would visit a place just because Moochelle was from there?
Slovenia, Croatia, Estonia, Montenegro.....FABULOUS places we have seen via cruising!!!
