80 per cent of Bulgarians have spent their vacation in their homeland, about 15 per cent  went abroad, and nearly 5 per cent have made trips in the country and abroad, figures show.

The holiday and recreation costs of the Luxembourg residents are the highest - an average of 740 Euros. Austria follows with 610 euros and Malta is next with 590 Euros.
