Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of Economic Development\
  \ and Technology:With regard to the petition that persons in caravans (motorhomes)\
  \ staying overnight at bus stops should not be required to register with the Police\
  \ and should be exempted from paying the tourist tax, the following reply is provided:I.\r\
  \nThe obligation to register with the Police is laid down in Article 39 of the Law\
  \ on Registration of Residence (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No\
  \ 52/17 - ZPPreb-1). The law stipulates that if a guest stays with a host, the host\
  \ must register the guest in the guest book within 12 hours. If the foreign guest\
  \ does not stay with the host, he/she must, regardless of the duration of the stay,\
  \ register with the competent police station no later than three days after crossing\
  \ the state border (Art. 41 ZPPreb-1).If the campervan stops are arranged in such\
  \ a way that the person who stays overnight in the campervan pays for the overnight\
  \ stay, then the host is obliged to register the guest. However, if the stops are\
  \ arranged in such a way that they only provide parking for campers (as campers\
  \ are not allowed to \"camp\" outside designated and arranged areas under our legislation),\
  \ the foreign guest must register himself/herself at the police station.It is up\
  \ to the Ministry of the Interior to decide on the proposal that persons staying\
  \ overnight in the stops should no longer be required to register themselves with\
  \ the Police.\r\nII.\r\nThe obligation to pay the tourist tax is laid down in Article\
  \ 23 of the Act on the Promotion of Tourism Development (Official Gazette of the\
  \ Republic of Slovenia, No. 2/04, 57/12, 17/15, 52/16-ZPPreb-1 and 29/17-Z\u0160\
  po-1) (hereinafter: ZSRT). Since, in accordance with Article 24(6) of the Regulation\
  \ on minimum technical conditions and scope of services for the provision of catering\
  \ services (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia No 35/17) (hereinafter:\
  \ the Regulation), a stopover is considered to be a type of campsite and is therefore\
  \ classified as an accommodation facility, persons staying overnight in caravans\
  \ at stopovers are liable to pay the tourist tax.We do not support the proposal\
  \ for a general exemption from the payment of the tourist tax for these persons,\
  \ but the municipality may, on the basis of Article 27(3) of the RTAA, exempt persons\
  \ staying overnight in caravans (motorhomes) at the stopping places from the payment\
  \ of the tourist tax in whole or in part by means of a regulation of the municipality.\r\
  \nIII.\r\nThe allegation that the requirements laid down in the Rules on the layout\
  \ of stopping places are excessive is unfounded. The requirements contained in the\
  \ Regulations are intended to ensure minimum standards to ensure an adequate level\
  \ of supply.\r\nIV.\r\nThe caravan parks must comply with all the regulatory requirements.\
  \ This is different only in cases where the areas laid out are intended only for\
  \ the stopping or resting of travellers (without overnight accommodation), as such\
  \ areas are not considered to be a stopping place within the meaning of the Regulations.\
  \ Reply from the Ministry of the Interior:We are sending a reply to petition No\
  \ 897, submitted via the STOP the Red Tape portal, concerning the exemption from\
  \ registration of guests and payment of the tourist tax for caravan parks which\
  \ are considered to be one of the accommodation establishments.\r\nArticle 39 of\
  \ the Residence Registration Act (ZPPreb-1) stipulates the obligation of the host\
  \ to register the guest he has received in his accommodation in eTurismo with Aipes\
  \ within 12 hours of arrival, which also applies to pay-per-night stops.\r\nHowever,\
  \ in the case of parking stops, the guest must register himself at the local police\
  \ station responsible within three days.\r\nHowever, areas intended only for stopping\
  \ and resting without overnight stays are not considered to be rest areas within\
  \ the meaning of the Regulation on the minimum technical conditions and scope of\
  \ services for the provision of catering services.\r\nThe Ministry of the Interior\
  \ agrees with the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology's Directorate\
  \ of Tourism's assessment of the above initiative.\r\n "
