Sofia Echo Com, 13.06.2005
MUNICH is to host the Days of Bulgarian Culture in Bavaria in October, the Bulgarian Culture and Tourism Ministry said in a media statement. The Ivan Vazov National Theatre will stage two performances in Munich, Yordan Radichkov’s Lazaritsa, directed by Kirkor Azaryan, and Turgenev’s A Month in the Village, directed by Margarita Mladenova. The tour will be a return visit to the trip of Munich’s Kammerspiele with the avant garde staging of Sophocle’s Antigone by Lars-Ole Walburg in Sofia on June 3 and 4. The guest performance of the unique tragedy is dedicated to the centennial anniversary of the Ivan Vazov National Theatre. Culture and Tourism Minister Nina Chilova said that the performance in Sofia of the Munich theatre takes place against the background of Bulgaria’s active participation in the Berlin conference on the European cultural policy “Soul for Europe”. · BULGARIA ranks second after Egypt in the forecasts of Czechs’ most favoured tourist destinations in 2005, the Culture and Tourism Ministry said on June 2. More than 100 000 Czechs visited Bulgaria last year. A new promotional video about Bulgaria was presented to Czech reporters at a news conference at the Bulgarian embassy in Prague, organised by the Bulgarian Tourism Authority. Reporters were briefed about the state of play of tourism in Bulgaria, about new products for the summer season, and were given promotional materials about Bulgaria. The past few years have seen annual increases of 25 to 30 per cent in Czech visitors to Bulgaria. The trend is expected to persist in 2005 too. The number of Czech tourists visiting Bulgaria increased 65 per cent in January to April 2005. Summer holiday-makers from the Czech Republic are expected to increase by more than 20 per cent. Bulgaria as a tourist destination is offered by more than 20 Czech travel agents. Air travel is the most preferred mode of transport. Summer flights exceed 450, serviced by three Bulgarian and two Czech air carriers. Bulgaria has succeeded in regaining its position in the Czech tourism market, with the bulk of holiday-makers headed for the Black Sea. · THE Bulgarian Tourism Authority and the National Border Police Service will co-operate in the circulation of promotional materials about Bulgaria, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism said. The Bulgarian Tourism Authority, which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, will supply the principal border checkpoints with promotional materials in the form of road and tourist maps, brochures and folders, and the National Border Police Service will hand them out free of charge to foreigners visiting Bulgaria as tourists. Foreign tourists will receive useful and timely information about tourist sites in Bulgaria and about Bulgaria in general. · TWO new international air services, from Varna to Berlin and Frankfurt, will be launched by the end of June, Transport and Communications Minister Nikolai Vassilev said on June 6. see source
