The tourism industry expects 16,000 charter flights with foreigners to land in Bulgaria by the end of the season, said Rumen Draganov of the Institute for Analysis and Assessment in Tourism. With 75% employment, we expect about 2.5 million foreigners to come to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and almost as many who will come with other forms of transportation. 

At the moment, we have a 17% decline, which is from the months of March, April and May, but the last two weeks are encouraging in terms of the domestic market, the expert commented. 
Draganov added that 38% of foreign tourists return to Bulgaria, which means that they are satisfied with the quality and service offered.
