Minister Nikolina Angelkova had a working breakfast with the ambassadors in Bulgaria

Our country has an extraordinary potential to develop cultural and historical tourism. The trends show that more and more tourists not only choose Bulgaria for their vacation, but also want to get information about it, to explore its authenticity and its history. This was stated by the Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova during the working breakfast with the ambassadors in the country, organised by the MT. Present at the event were 50 heads and representatives of diplomatic missions in Bulgaria.

Minister Angelkova again emphasized before the heads of diplomatic missions that the main goal of the Ministry of Tourism was to make the country a year-round sustainable tourist destination - a four-season Bulgaria, and the efforts were focused on reaching a position in the top 5 countries in South Eastern Europe.

Minister Nikolina Angelkova pointed out that the efforts of all institutions were coordinated and focused to ensure the safety and comfort of tourists not only in the summer season but during the whole year. “In order to ensure the comfort and security of the tourists, we demanded from concessionaires and lessees to provide maximum lighting on the beaches”, the Minister of Tourism added. She announced that present forecasts were for a 10% rise in tourists this summer in Bulgaria.

From the words of the minister it became clear that Bulgaria offers an ever better environment for business development. In this regard, Nikolina Angelkova informed them that she would work on elimination of the re-classification of hotels and catering establishments every five years. This aims to remove the excessively high administrative burden on businesses, and quality could be guaranteed by enhancing the product competitiveness and ongoing control.
