Race made a significant progress and importance with more and more international recognition over the years. From the unknown local third class race in the beginnings, it is now part of the world's second tier level of road cycling with world class athletes. In 2017, when Slovenian Tourist Organisation (STO) decided to start promoting country's trademark, its green landscape, on Eurosport 1 and 2, was a huge game changer. All five stages of the race are being broadcast live in about 120 countries all over the world.^[6]

World class cyclists such as Rigoberto Urán, Rafał Majka, Primož Roglič, Jakob Fuglsang, Vincenzo Nibali and Tadej Pogačar competed here in the course of their careers and brought the international attention.

In 2017, they introduced green jersey for general classification, representing country's green nature.

Along with the Tour de Suisse, it is the last top level preparatory stage race before Tour de France. Mojca Novak (President of organizing committee) retired 2023, new president is Bogdan Fink.
