Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova has visited touristic sites in the municipalities of Batak and Rakitovo, among which the Church Ossuary “Sveta Nedelya”, the Early Christian Basilica in Nikolitsa, the Pliocene Park and the Medieval Fortress in Tsepina.

During her tour, Minister Angelkova had meetings with representatives of the local tourism business, which were also attended by the Governor of Pazardzhik region Ginche Karaminova, the Mayor of Batak Municipality Petar Paunov, the Mayor of Rakitovo Kostadin Holyanov and the Mayor of Peshtera Municipality Nikolay Zaychev.

“The small municipalities will be included in the journalist tours that will be organized by the Ministry of Tourism”, announced Minister Angelkova. She also commented that Pazardzhik region has lots of cultural and historical monuments that need to be better popularized.

Another advantage of the region is its location not far from the capital, which gives further perspectives for both pushing upward the domestic tourism and attracting foreign tourists thanks to Trakia Motorway, which is on the road from Asia to Europe. According to Minister Angelkova, Tsigov Chark can also offer accommodation facilities.
