Bulgaria saw a 7.3 percent growth in the number of foreign tourists from January till November 2017 on the same period of the previous year, figures released by the National Statistical Institute suggest.
Over the eleven months of the year this country welcomed 8.4 million foreign tourists. The most of them come from Greece, Romania, Germany, Turkey, Russia and Macedonia.
„The figures are just great. If we keep this growth rate we stand the chance of exceeding 9 million tourists per annum. This would be a record high and we are going to work very hard to achieve it”, Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova commented the official statistics. Once again she vowed that the Ministry of Tourism would continue its active work for turning Bulgaria into an all-year-round destination.
In figures from the Bulgarian National Bank revenues from international tourism for the first ten months of 2017 came to 3.15 billion euro.
