Bulgaria ranks fourth in Europe by the rate of development of winter tourism, says Deputy Minister of Economy in charge of Tourism, Branimir Botev.

During the past winter, the country has been visited by over 1 million tourists, which is an increase of 8.2%. Hopes are for this positive trend to continue during the 2013-2014 season, according to Botev.
He has further noted that the summer season was also successful in Bulgaria. For the period June - August 2013 the country has been visited by 3.5 million tourists, which is an increase of 5.4%. The largest number of tourists, who visited Bulgaria in the summer season, came from Russia, Germany, Romania, Greece, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.
"British tourists appreciate the opportunities for alternative tourism offered in Bulgaria, combined with good food and quality wine. Our country is an attractive year-round destination. During the summer of 2013 Bulgaria has been visited by over 140 000 British tourists," said Botev.
