The number of Russian tourists has been rising despite sanctions related to the war in Ukraine and the absence of direct flights to Bulgaria. 33,584 visits by Russian tourists with overnight stays were registered in the period January to May 2022. The number of Russian tourists compared to a year earlier surged 3.9 times, outgoing Minister of Tourism Hristo Prodanov said.
The Ministry says that all planned informational activities and the advertising campaign of Bulgaria on the Russian market have been temporarily suspended. However, the Consular Service in Moscow continues to issue tourist visas to Russian citizens without restrictions.
