Bulgaria has the potential to attract more American tourists. US Ambassador Kenneth Merten and Bulgarian Minister of Tourism Zaritsa Dinkova united around this
"Our country can offer many cultural and natural sights that will arouse the interest of American tourists. There are still untouched places in Bulgaria that need to be shown and preserved," said Dinkova.

In 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, over 104,000 American tourists travelled to Bulgaria. For the first 5 months of 2023, the number of US citizens who visited Bulgaria was 30,469, which is an increase of 41% compared to the same period in 2022, according to the ministry.
