There is a 14.7 per cent increase in the number of foreign travellers hitting Bulgarian turf in July of 2016. Of those foreign nationals, 58 per cent came to this country as tourists.
Thanks to what Bulgaria’s tourist sites have to offer, including the beaches, but also due to the shaky situation in Turkey and the fear of terrorist attacks in Egypt, the increase in tourists interest in Bulgaria was registered.
In addition to the government spending millions in order to promote Bulgaria as a tourist destination, it also seems that private investors are ready to get to work too. According to the publication tophotel.de in Germany, five large hotels are currently being built in Bulgaria.
InterContinental Hotel, with 182 rooms and suites, will be inaugurated in Sofia, at the end of 2017. The Grand Hotel will be renovated thoroughly, according to the information. On top of that, a Holiday Inn Hotel with 67 rooms is about to open in Plovdiv.
