Bulgaria 2008 Revenues from Hunting Tourism to Reach BGN 5,5 M
Sofia News Agency, 29.10.2008
The 2008 revenues from hunting tourism in Bulgaria are expected to exceed those from 2007 by BGN 0,5 M, according to the Deputy Chair of the State Forestry Agency Iordan Radoslavov.
Radoslavov spoke on Tuesday, at the opening of the Fifth National Hunting Trophy Exhibit, held at the Plovdiv Fair.
The current revenues from game shooting amount to BGN 4,2 M with a forecast of the total amount for 2008 to reach over BGN 5,5 M.
Currently the game preserves in Bulgaria receive investments of BGN 20 M per year split between the State Forestry Agency and the National Hunting and Fishing Association. There is a planed investment increase that would come from the concession of the preserves to private investors, which would lead to better facilities, services, health of the game and would create new hunting destinations.
According to Radoslavov, private investments would only hurt the interests of those shooting in hunting areas without legal permits, by making personal agreements with local rangers.
