Bulgaria has made it to the top 3 of preferred tourist destinations among the Europeans, together with Greece and Tunisia.

This summer the travelling agencies expect a 12% growth in the number of foreign tourists in Bulgaria and 60% of them will come from the EU member states.

In the last four years the country has gained popularity because of its luxurious hotels, unconventional tourist offers and the attractive venues. Still, there is a chance for Bulgaria to repel foreign tourists because of the uncontrolled construction works all over the Black Sea coast.

Bulgaria must also put some serious efforts in improving its executive and legislative power in order to put and end of the reckless constructions, CEO of the Bulgarian Tourists Agencies Association Donka Sokolova said.

“If we make even a single false move, Bulgaria will be forsaken by tourists for the next ten years at least,” Sokolova warned.
