Bulgaria will welcome some 9 million foreign tourists annually by 2020, and their number is expected to reach 12 million in the following 10 years.
This is stipulated in the National Strategy for Sustainable Tourism Development 2030, which was adopted by the Cabinet.

The state will also work for the development of religious, wine and eco tourism, Deputy Economy Minister Branimir Botev explained.
