Inside Bulgaria's Easter Celebrations: Traditions Passed Through Generations
Today marks the joyous celebration of Easter, one of the most significant holidays in the Orthodox Christian calendar.
There are about 8% more tourists at Bulgaria's top winter resorts, compared to the same time last year.
The data was reported by the Deputy Chairman of the Bulgarian Tourist Chamber, Evelin Videnov, cited by "Focus" news agency.
According to Videnov, the 2012 winter season has been great for the country's tourism. Based on the 8% increase in numbers, he expects and estimates about 10% more in revenues, compared to 2011.
The Deputy Chairman believes the good turnout is attributed to the heavy snow that fell earlier than last year, while promotions and discounts, particularly in tourist packages, have attracted more Bulgarians to local resorts. Visitors there now are mostly local tourists.
Videnov stresses that Bulgaria has almost no competition in winter sports and tourism from neighboring countries and on the Balkans, except for some Serbian and Croatian resorts, while Turkey, Greece and Romania "traditionally are not strong in winter tourism."
