A brief guide to Bulgaria
- Traditional Tourism
During the winter months, Borovetz, Bansko, Pamporovo and Vitosha are popular ski resorts. During the summer season Bulgaria welcomes steadily increasing numbers of tourists to its numerous resorts along the Black Sea coast. Popular summer resorts include Sozopol, Nessebur, Golden Sands, Sunny Beach, Albena, St. St. Constantine & Helena and many others. Bulgaria has become an attractive destination because of the quality of service and the affordable prices of accommodations that the country offers.
Bulgaria has enjoyed a substantial growth in income from international tourism over the past decade. Beach resorts are popular with tourists from Germany, Russia and Scandinavia. The ski resorts are a favorite destination for English tourists.
Emerging Forms of Tourism
Besides the traditionally developed forms of tourism new types are also gaining popularity. Ethno tourism is one such kind, where tourists explore living among local people, particularly in small mountain villages far from five star hotels and luxury shops.
Bike tourism and mountain hiking have also shown strong growth in popularity among foreign tourists. The mountains of Rila, Pirin and the Balkan attract climbers. Hikers enjoy the mountains of Vitosha and the Rhodopes. Bicycling is popular, Bulgaria is one of only six countries to annually host official 1200km Randonnees - ultra-marathon bicycle rides patterned after Paris-Brest-Paris.
History Tourism
Historical tourism is undeveloped in Bulgaria. The country is situated at crossroads linking East and West. It has been home to many civilisations, including the Thracians, Slavs, Romans, Byzantines, Proto-Bulgarians, and Ottomans.
Although the country is rich in historical ruins, museums and monasteries those are not properly advertised and maintained. Some are not tourist-accessible due to poor infrastructure. This underdevelopment is regarded as desirable by some tourists who prefer to experience history first-hand rather than look at artefacts behind glass.
