At the official opening of the winter season in Bansko, caretaker Minister of Tourism Evtim Miloshev said that Bulgaria has the potential to become a leading tourist country in the region.
It is high time the discussion began among all institutions in the country about making Bulgarian tourism a strategic priority and developing it comprehensively, Minister Miloshev said. Bulgaria is now a recognizable year-round tourist destination, but the conversation about tourism as a priority industry among all industries in the country has not taken place yet, Evtim Miloshev said further. That is a state policy that must be pursued under a stable regular government, Minister Miloshev said and added that the country’s full membership of the Schengen area as of 1 January next year will bring an optimistic change to the prospect of growth in winter tourism.
