Cultural Tourism in Bulgaria possesses big potential

Anita Valentinova, BNR, 02.05.2008

Cultural tourism in Bulgaria possesses all chances to become a profitable industry
This fact became clear during the 5th edition of the exhibition “Cultural tourism 2008”, which was held in Veliko Tarnovo. Knowledge of Bulgarian monasteries, visiting ethnographic villages, culinary tours, visiting museums, opera spectacles and folklore festivals- these and other offers for acquaintance with rich cultural and historical heritage were represented in Veliko Tarnovo during the past week. The city of Veliko Tarnovo has recently become Bulgarian capital of cultural tourism by the numerous churches, monasteries, museums and monuments. 500, 000 tourists, most of who from France, USA, Japan and Germany, visited the ancient city in 2007. The medieval fortress on the hill Tsarevets, together with Rila monastery, are the most visited cultural and historical monuments in Bulgaria. Therefore, Veliko Tarnovo was selected to be the capital of cultural tourism before five years. There is growth of the number of tourists every year. Tourist season in Veilko Tarnovo is rather long. It starts in the middle of March and continues to the end of November. For that reason cultural tourism might be all year, making a real difference with mountain and sea tourism, which are confined to the period of several months. The film festival “On the east coast of Europe”, which was held during the exhibition, was welcomed with a great interest. 27 short movies made popular the cultural and natural beauty of some of the most remarkable places in Bulgaria. Bulgaria gains great popularity among tourists from neighbor countries. What makes Bulgaria a unique destination for cultural tourism is its millennial past, marked with the sign of ancient, considerably developed cultures. Today the interest in Bulgaria is obvious and the success of Bulgarian archaeologists contributes to this during the last years. It is no chance that the best world editions such as National Geographic, The Independent, Guardian, Le Figaro, La Repubblica write for Bulgarian cultural monuments.
