Bulgaria To Create E-Registry of Its Tourist Destinations

Bulgaria's Tourism Ministry will create an electronic registry of all tourist destinations in the country, said Tourism Minister Nikolina Angelkova during the opening of the International Meeting Of Touroperators in Plovdiv.

According to Angelkova, the expected increase of number of tourists this ski season is around 4-5%, with highest growth posted by visitors from Turkey - around 10%.
