Debate Arises Among Bulgarian PM, Tourism Association Reps

According to representatives of the Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association, tourism in Bulgaria still maintains the best price to quality ratio.

The statement was made following the appeal Bulgarian PM Boiko Borisov made in Parliament, asking citizens to stay in Bulgaria over the upcoming Easter holidays, as reported by the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR).

"I am turning to the tourist branch to respond to our appeal and to provide prices, service and quality that will be the reasons for Bulgarians not to travel 500 kilometers more, and instead to stay here," Borisov added.

"The government needs to create a very well-crafted and positive campaign on travelling in Bulgaria. There should be investments in big cities in terms of billboards, and Bulgarian ministers and MPs should themselves give a positive example by spending their holidays in Bulgaria."
