Ksevt Hotel AA Visiting School Slovenia Nanotourism

In 2012 the town of Vitanje, Slovenia inaugurated the Cultural Center of European Space Technologies (KSEVT). The centre promoting exhibitions, studies, and cultural initiatives has increased the number of visitors to the Slovenian town, creating demand for additional accommodations.
Rather than initiatives involving traditional forms of tourism, Vitanje appeared to be the ideal candidate for implementing the strategies of nanotourism, a study conducted by an international team led by Tina Gregorič and Aljoša Dekleva, presented at the Ljubljana Biennale and Fuorisalone Milano 2015.
The Ksevt Hotel project conducted by Samo Bojnec, Natalie Jasinski, Kaja Švab and Vid Žnidaršič offered the experience of sleeping while levitating, despite the presence of gravity.
There are two possible experiences: an individual experience sleeping in a space suit suspended in the central space in the Kvset, and a group experience concluding the exhibition route in which a group of people experiences sleeping resting on pyramid-shaped cushions arranged all around the body to permit a custom sleeping mode.
