The number of tourists coming to Sofia during the first four months of 2017 is up by 17.87 percent, Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova declared in parliament.

She added that revenues have gone up by 25 percent. The annual revenues per one hotel bed in Sofia amount to around 6,000 euro. Last year occupancy rates at hotels in the Bulgarian capital city stood at 41 percent.

Hotel prices in Sofia are expected to go up considerably during the first half of 2018 when practically all high-end hotels in the capital city will be catering for the delegations arriving for Bulgaria’s Presidency of the Council of the EU.
