Do Bulgarians prefer to spend their holidays in the neighboring Balkan countries and what is still to be done for the strategy in the tourism- that is what the chairwoman of the State Agency for Tourism Anelia Krushova commends in an interview for Focus News Agency. Focus: Mrs Krushkova why do Bulgarians prefer to spend their holidays in a foreign country rather than in Bulgarian resorts? How would you commend the information of the Institute for Analysis and Valuation in Tourism that 32 000 Bulgarians have traveled to our South neighbor? Anelia Krushkova: The people just want to see something new, to make parallel. Also, there have probably been a lot of attractive offers especially for the summer. There are either no such suggestions at the Black Sea for the summer or we cannot see where they are. During the holidays people just prefer to go to a warmer and sunnier place. And they could have stayed here in Bulgaria. Focus: In what conditions are the Black Sea resorts? Anelia Krushkova: Everything is ready in Albena, and the effect is great. In the rest of the resorts some of the hotels are open and some are not. The owners are different and everyone decides for themselves to open or not to open the hotel.
