Over 3000 tourists visited Samuil Fortress near Petrich

Anita Valentinova, source : infotourism.net, 23.05.2009

The chief curator of the History Museum in Petrich said that over 3000 tourists have visited the popular Samuil fortress since the beginning of May. The great number of tourists has proved the point that the Samuil fortress is a wonderful cultural and historical product which helps tourists to get aware of Bulgaria’s history and also boosts the local economy. The visitors have been provoked by the fact that the Local Historical Museum in Blagoevgrad and now the History Museum in Petrich follow the tradition of the maintenance and development of the landmark. From now on funding will be provided under national programs. Samiul fortress has been visited by a great number of foreign tourists. Samuil fortress has great potential which has remained unused, so flexibility is needed to develop a new product for the next year. It turned out that May is the month when the tourist flow is in its high peak.
