The second cheapest country after Turkey expects 6 million tourists despite the lack of Russians

Despite the lack of Russian tourist traffic, the second cheapest country after Turkey (according to a British report) expects to see 6 million tourists. This is about Bulgaria. The positive forecast was published by the Bulgarian media by the Minister of Tourism Hristo Prodanov.

In the summer season of 2022, Bulgaria will receive from 5.5 to 6 million tourists. According to the official, they will come mainly from countries such as Poland, Hungary, Romania, Germany, Great Britain, Serbia, the Czech Republic, Israel, and others.

In a statement issued more than a week ago, Tourism Minister Hristo Prodanov said no outflow of domestic tourists was expected because many Bulgarians like to spend their summer holidays on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. “We want to send a clear signal that Bulgaria offers excellent conditions for recreation and at the same time a safe destination – our Black Sea is a safe and peaceful area, and we have a long tradition of quality and hospitality in tourism,” he said.

According to him, the promotion of all types of tourism is also an important task. He also added that in addition to traditional sea and winter tourism, it is important to use the potential of the country’s cultural tourism, and spa tourism. In addition, focus on wine, gastronomic and medical tourism.

Bulgaria is confident that tourists will go to them, as a recent report by British experts showed that this destination is the second after Turkey, which is the most affordable for vacationers in terms of cheapness.

The summer tourist season officially opened on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Black Sea resort with a festive procession along the embankment of the Golden Sands resort – the pearl of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Invitations have been sent to more than 30 officials heading diplomatic missions accredited by the Bulgarian government to visit the resort and learn about what it has to offer. The invitation was sent by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Theodora Genchovska and the Minister of Tourism Hristo Prodanov. At the same time, officials and representatives of the diplomatic corps in Bulgaria are taking part in conferences dedicated to the 65th anniversary of the coastal resort.
