http://news.opodo.co.uk, 22nd August 2007

The Black Sea resort of Primorsko yesterday welcomed its one millionth tourist of the 2007 season.

According to Focus News Agency, a welcoming ceremony was held at the recently-constructed Aquapark, where the lucky visitor was handed home-made bread salt and honey, which is an old Bulgarian tradition.

Bulgaria's Black Sea coast has enjoyed astonishing growth in recent years and has been compared by many in the travel industry to Spain's Costa del Sol.

It continues to attract families looking for something a little out of the ordinary, with attractive prices making it a genuine competitor for established Mediterranean resorts.

Primorsko itself is only a small town, but its two beaches make it a popular destination for sun-worshippers and watersports enthusiasts. The northern beach, in particular, attracts Bulgaria's surfers, with rougher conditions making it an ideal location.

Sunny Beach is the most famous destination on the Black Sea coast, with dozens of popular hotels and a couple of excellent campsites.

Holidaymakers looking for a little more interest, however, tend to visit the towns of Burgas and Varna, both of which offer an appealing blend of tradition and modern tourism.
