It is expected that over 100 000 French tourists will visit Bulgaria this summer, said the French ambassador Etienne de Poncins. He has attended the official opening of the French center in the city of Varna. In his opinion, French tourists are particularly interested in Bulgaria as they are the kind of traveller who is willing to discover the new countries of the EU. However, French tourists do not prefer typical vacations in Bulgaria as they don’t feel in about seaside holidays. What they are interested in Bulgaria is the abundance of cultural landmarks. The number of French visitors is remaining unchanged compared to figures for the same period of 2008. A couple of days ago, a French TV channel broadcasted footage with regards to tourism opportunities in Bulgaria. Some of the featured destinations were Albena summer resort and Varna seaside city.
