Sofia News Agency, 20.05.2008

Over 300 million EUR could potentially be invested in golf courses in Bulgaria if the state provides private investors with plots suitable for golfing. If in 5 years golf courses were not built on the plots provided by the state, such plots would be automatically recalled, Gergov specified. He further announced that this fall, from September 24 to 28, Bulgaria would host the International Golf Tournament Bulgaria Open. The tournament will take place at the Black Sea Ram golf course in Balchik and is expecting golfers from over 20 countries. In the fall the Black Sea Ram is already going to be an 18-hole course making the international tournament possible. Mollov presented the possibilities for development of wine tourism in Bulgaria.
