In this year’s contest “Best Slovenian Swimming Centre 2009”, which was held under the auspices of Alpe Adria Media Marketing company and the »Dobro jutro, Slovenija« (Good Morning, Slovenia) radio show, Atlantis Water City was awarded the title “Best Slovenian Swimming Centre 2009” in the category of water parks for the fifth year in a row. The contest lasted from April to mid-September, during which time a team from the above mentioned radio show visited many Slovenian swimming centres. Apart from that, voting was conducted via radio and television stations, text messaging, and www.dj-slovenija.si web portal. More than 45,200 votes were received, which is 15,000 more than last year, and the votes went to 102 Slovenian swimming centres.
