The money spent on tourism advertising in 2019 should increase to EUR 19 million from EUR 7 million in 2018, representatives of the Bulgarian tourism sector contend. The National Board of Tourism, the Confederation of Employers and Industrialist in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association, the Bulgarian Industrial Association, the Bulgarian Union of Balneology and SPA Tourism and Made in Bulgaria Union will send a letter to Bulgaria’s Premier Boyko Borissov, the Bulgarian Ministers of Transport and Finance and the competent Parliamentary committees proposing that 0.5%-1% of the total revenues in tourism, which amounted to EUR 3.5 billion in 2017, should be spent on advertising the Bulgarian tourism sector. The proposal is based on the geopolitical analysis of competitive tourist destinations. It also takes into account the sustained development of the Bulgarian tourism sector.
