Bulgaria is turning its Black Sea coast into a model of sustainable tourism — where economic growth goes hand in hand with environmental protection. During the Black Sea 2030 Forum, Tourism Minister Miroslav Borshosh emphasized that the future of Bulgarian tourism lies in eco-responsible travel and balanced development.
Green and Blue Economy in Action
Over 30 beaches and marinas in Bulgaria now carry the Blue Flag certification — a symbol of clean water, safety, and environmental responsibility.
This initiative is part of Bulgaria’s broader vision to create a modern, eco-friendly tourism sector that supports both local communities and biodiversity.
Building Balance Between Nature and Development
Authorities are implementing “green management” practices in hotels and infrastructure. Efforts include waste reduction, recycling programs, and renewable energy use.
Recent legislative changes aim to restrict excessive coastal construction and protect the natural coastline for future generations.
What Travelers Should Know
For tourists, Bulgaria offers more than just beaches — it offers a sustainable travel experience. Visitors are encouraged to choose certified eco-hotels, avoid plastic, and participate in local environmental initiatives.
Conclusion
Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast is proving that tourism and nature can thrive together. By investing in sustainability, the country is setting an example for responsible travel in Europe.
