Bulgaria's Deputy Prime Minister Krasimir Karakachanov, leader of VMRO, one of the parties in the ruling coalition, together with the National Tourism Board, have proposed to the government a list of measures to support the tourism sector.

Offering free vouchers for a vacation in Bulgaria to working people and pensioners is one of their proposals.

Also, they propose the state should pay 30% of the price of charter flights for foreign tourists. The total amount is EUR 50 million, but it will be repaid ten times to the budget, they claim.

Another proposal is to remove visas and fees for Russian tourists coming to Bulgaria. 

Such measures are already being developed in Greece, Turkey, Croatia and Spain.
