Bulgarian tourism development and heritage

Overview

Bulgaria is engaging in various initiatives to promote and organize its tourism sector. In Varna, the government is establishing an association for higher education institutions specializing in tourism and creating a ‘Tourism Alley’ in the Sea Garden. To bolster the industry, a fund for aviation connectivity and advertising is being implemented to support air carriers, while legislative updates are planned to improve consumer protection and integrate short-term rentals into the Unified Tourism System.

Simultaneously, the country is celebrating the 131st anniversary of its organized tourism movement, which traces its origins to a 1895 hike led by Aleko Konstantinov. This milestone is marked by the Bulgarian Tourist Union, an organization managing hundreds of mountain shelters, and a national assembly on Cherni Vrah. These celebrations also coincide with the 60th anniversary of the ‘Discover Bulgaria – 100 National Tourist Sites’ movement, aimed at promoting national heritage.
