Bulgaria Mulls Ways to Attract More Romanian Tourists

Tourism

A large-scale business forum is held Thursday and Friday in the central Bulgarian city and old capital Veliko Tarnovo focusing on ways to attract more Romanian tourists.
The forum is attended by a number of Romanian companies from the travel sector to hear presentations on Bulgaria as a year-round tourist destination, the largest private TV channel bTV reported Thursday.
The event is organized by the Bulgarian Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism, with the help of the Union for SPA Tourism and the Association of Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Owners.
Organizers are quoted saying that their goal is to promote Bulgaria on the Romanian tourist market, which is one of the priorities of the sector.
Hotel owners have recently noted and reported some alarming exodus of Romanian tourists from the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast, which had been the main destination for visitors from the country's northern neighbor.
