This year, 44% of Bulgarians will vacation abroad, with 92% of these trips occurring within Europe. Greece is the top destination for 40% of travelers, followed by Italy at 22% and Turkey at 20%. Germany ranks fourth with 13% of respondents planning to visit.

Greek-owned startup Orfium is adding another tech company to its portfolio acquiring British-based Soundmouse, further expanding its services in the audiovisual industry.

Founded in 2015, Orfium has developed software that identifies missing copyrights for the use of music tracks on digital platforms and then returns them to their creators.
