More than 1.2 million foreign tourists are expected to visit Bulgaria during the winter season, which is 8%-11% more as compared to the previous winter season. Winter resorts are fully booked between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

 "The interest from the Balkan countries and the Central European countries is highest. At the moment, the interest in cultural, educational and other alternative forms of tourism is lower and we are still quite far from the pre-Covid levels," said Konstantin Zankov from the Institute of Analysis and Assessment in Tourism. 

Accommodation costs for package tours has increased between 11 and 18%, for some hotels up to 20%, which is due to high inflation and fuel prices, the BNR’s reporter Mila Mladenova informed.
