Russian General Consul in Varna stated that Russian tourists love Bulgaria for their preferred tourist destination and it is expected that their number will be growing in the next year as well. According to preliminary data, the number of Russian tourists in Bulgaria has been increased by 15-18% as opposed to the last year. Moreover, the positive trend will remain in the next year. As a Visa center has been opened in Moscow, the problem with respect to issuing visas for Bulgaria does not exist anymore. It is expected that the number of Russian kids, who are going to spend their holiday in Bulgaria due to various social programs, will be doubled.
