By the 1980’s, and to the delight of its innumerable guests, Kompas’ 4000 employees steered hundreds of motor-coaches, cars, ships and yachts and they managed several ski centers, hotels and restaurants. After Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, Kompas expanded internationally and became the largest travel company in the region.
