"Bulgaria - magnetic and beautiful" - under this title Bulgarian travel bloggers present some of the most photogenic places in this country. The exhibition with unique images taken by the travelers will be opened on September 24 at the entrance of the Sea Garden in the coastal city Varna and will remain there until October 6. 


"We want to present to Bulgarian and foreign tourists the magic of Bulgaria with its diversity of natural and cultural attractions," says Stanislav Stylyanov from the non-governmental organization ASTOM, which unites the most visited Bulgarian travel blogs.

"A total of 18 photos will be shown. We have a variety of destinations - lakes, mountains, forests, monasteries, rock formations, interesting eco trails, quaint villages... So every adventurer will be able to find a destination that grabs their attention and motivates them to take their next trip to Bulgaria."

Bulgaria is magnetic and beautiful because of its picturesque nature, unique culture and thousands of years of history, Stanislav believes.

Bulgarian bloggers urge their audience to get to know and love this country. In their blogs, they share first-person useful information related to different types of tourism in the country, as well as ideas for budget travel, what to see, how to get to a location, where to stay, etc. "There are over 30 blogs in our association, most of them are dedicated to Bulgaria, but there are also blogs about travel abroad," Stanislav says, explaining:

"Some of these blogs specialize in different types of tourism. We have some that focus on the historical value of a destination, others that focus on culinary tourism, we have blogs that specialize in traveling in RVs and caravans, etc. Many of them are also excellent photographers. i.e. through travel blogging we can get a feel for an authentic representation of a destination," says Stanislav.

He himself is the author of the TravelTasty.eu blog https://traveltasty.eu/ about travel and culinary around the world and at home. According to him, in the age of digital communication, artificial intelligence and internet search engines, any traveller can find the necessary information about a destination on the World Wide Web.

"A very big plus is that some of these travel blogs are written in English as well as Bulgarian and are quite well optimised. And that means they reach an international audience in a quick and easy way. So Bulgarian travel bloggers have a big role to play in promoting destination Bulgaria around the world. And this is proven by the statistics of their websites and the feedback from tourists who visit our country. It is no coincidence that we are preferred partners of a number of destinations and businesses in the field of tourism at home and abroad," says Stanislav Stylyanov in conclusion.
