Russian tourists flock to Bulgaria this summer

Sofia News Agency, 09.04.2011

Bulgaria can expects hundreds of thousands more Russian tourists than it welcomed in 2010 as the unrest in top Mediterranean destinations such as Tunisia and Egypt will redirect their summer holidays.

This is the forecast of RATA News, the daily online paper of the Russian Union of Tourism Industry in an article entitled "Bulgaria Awaited Its Moment in the Sun". The paper cites Bulgarian tour operators as saying that the Russian tourists should not expect much in terms of special offers to attract them simply because the unrest in the Arab countries will channel more tourists – both Russian and Western European – to the Bulgarian resorts than usual. It says that the end consumer prices of tourist packages for Bulgarian and other European resorts might be expected to be 10%-15% higher than in 2010.
