Bulgarian Experts Demand Separate Tourism Ministry

Experts and representatives of a range of political parties have agreed on the need to establish a separate Tourism Ministry.

Bulgaria’s goals and priorities in the sphere of tourism were discussed at a public discussion at the headquarters of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS).

The agenda of the discussion included six topics, including creating a Tourism Ministry, declaring the development of an all-year-round tourist season a national priority, and developing different types of specialized tourism, according to reports of the Bulgarian National Radio.

During the discussion, industry representatives demanded that some 60 mln levs be allocated to promoting Bulgaria as a tourist destination.
