World crisis affected Bulgarian tourism in a positive way. As a result of economic collapse, hotels in the world famous mountain resorts
Bansko,
Pamporovo and
Borovets will keep winter season prices and they can even reduce them as well.
In fact, should your budget be less than princely, it is now relatively easy to go on a cheap ski holiday.
Owners of guests’ houses, hotel and luxurious complexes are ready to cut the price for the upcoming winter season in order to have successful winter season as usual. Prices, of course, will be reduced according to the offered conditions and facilities. 2-star and 3-star hotels can lower their prices by 5€ and luxurious ones can reduce their rate by 10 or even 15€.
In this way, you can take the opportunity to spend less money on your ski holiday this year. Owners of ski equipment don’t have any intentions to increase the prices of their services.
Hectic preparations for the forthcoming winter ski season are underway in
Bulgarian mountain resorts.
