Tourists from Israel will be delighted to spend their winter vacation in Bulgaria’s top skiing resorts. The Russian media News.ru has pointed out that actually skiing holidays become tradition many Jewish families. Famous French, Italian and Swiss ski resorts used to be the most favourite ones. However, the situation has changed and cheaper resorts in Bulgaria and Andorra have gained popularity. There is a significant difference between the prices in French and Bulgarian resorts-a couple of days in Shamoni cost about 2 500 EUR, including tickets, hotel accommodation and ski lift passes, whereas the same pack is approximately 900 EUR in Bulgaria. It is expected that more than 40 000 tourists from Israel will make for a skiing vacation this year.
