Burgas City Railway to Connect Airport by 2024
A transformative project is underway in Burgas, Bulgaria, as plans for a city railway to link the Central Railway Station with Burgas Airport are on track for completion by the end of 2024
The advertisement hoax, which made thousands of Bulgarians believe that Hollywood mega star Johnny Depp is on an incognito visit to the city of Burgas, has inspired its coastal mayor for an ambitious exploit.
"I plan to invite Johnny Depp to the music festival Spirit of Burgas next year. My team will prepare an official inquiry, which will be sent to his PR agents," Dimitar Nikolov, mayor of Burgas, said in an interview for 24 Hours daily.
"Let's hope he will agree to come, we may even introduce him to his double," the mayor added.
Asked whether he felt sorry for being taken in by the advertisement hoax, the mayor smiled and even expressed gratitude to the organizers.
"If Burgas was a boring city, in which nothing happens, there are no emotions and exciting visits, then the advertising agency would not have picked it for its stunt. I want to thank them for the free of charge promotion."
The news about the actor's "incognito visit" to the coastal town of Burgas made a blast in the media last month only to burst spectacularly like a party balloon after it was officially exposed as an advertisement hoax.
It turned out that a Bulgarian actor with a striking resemblance to Depp had been the person photographed on the balcony of hotel "Primorets" in Bulgaria's southern coastal city of Burgas.
Johnny Depp was actually the 23-year-old Bulgarian actor, Georgi Velizarov, who admitted impersonating his Hollywood, much more famous colleague, for years.
An advertisement agency planned Velizarov's appearance to attract attention with a simple, but subtle PR stunt, designed to promote a brand new site for photographs and a newly renovated hotel, until recently marred by the infamous glory of a den of local mobsters.
