Bulgaria as a “good place to live” is among the top five priorities in the Government strategy for tourism advertising and development till 2030, approved on Wednesday.
This aim of this slogan is to attract elderly people who would like to live and spend their pensions in Bulgaria.
The strategy also includes the development of tourist products for people 65+ years old, such as balneotherapy, cultural, eco and village tourism, etc.
