Higher number of foreign tourists expected in Bulgaria

The Sofia Echo, 2nd June 2006

Between three and five per cent more foreign tourists are expected to visit Bulgarian summer resorts this season.

The increase came mainly from the Russian and the British tourism market, Darik Radio reported.

A drop in the number of German tourists visiting the country was noted, head of the State Agency for Tourism (SAT) Mario al-Djebouri said.

This year, the rise in foreign tourists visits would be smaller than the increase for the previous season.

With the start of the summer season construction would be banned in coastal resorts. State representatives already inspected the condition of summer resorts and their readiness to start successfully the season.
