A few days since Bulgaria enjoys its accession to the EU, the annual international conference Bulgaria Dream Area has been the first business event to landmark the new realities.

The sixth edition of the conference to run January 10-11 at Kempinski Hotel Zografski, in Sofia, will focus the eyes back on tourism, one of the country's most fast developing and promising sector.

"Tourism is a sector has earned enormous progress in the last ten years, but it still fails to engage all the potential of this country and its people," said Bob Miller, former Nevada governor and a long-time friend of Bulgaria.

The event will be opened by Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev on Wednesday. Words of welcome will be said also by Sofia Mayor Boyko Borissov, Stanislav Novakov from the state Tourism Authority and Mathieu Hoeberigs from the Tourism Unit of the European Commission.

The event will gather for the first times the tourism ministers from the Balkan region. They will consider the opportunities for further development and exchange of experience between Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, Macedonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey, as well as Ukraine.

Organized for six consecutive years, Bulgaria Dream Area (http://www.bulgariantourism.com ) has turned out to be a key venue for exploring the interaction between public and private sectors, how international tour operators and carriers help develop the region and what attracts foreign investors to Bulgaria.

The participants in the forum this year will focus also on the opportunities to develop winter, summer, cultural, spa and eco tourism. Some of the issues will tackle the infrastructure readiness of the region as a whole to meet the tourists' demands.
