Bulgaria is establishing itself as one of the most attractive destinations for European vacationers, according to a report by the French television station TF1. In the material, the Black Sea coast is described as the "new Eldorado," offering an exotic experience without being affected by mass overtourism.
According to the analysis by the French team, the main factors for the success of Bulgarian resorts, especially Sunny Beach, are affordable prices and high service quality. Examples show that a stay in a luxury hotel with an "all-inclusive" package can be up to three times cheaper compared to the French Riviera, while offering a rich selection of amenities—from spa centers to renovated rooms and diverse entertainment.
Industry experts point out that Bulgaria's competitiveness is fueled by several key elements:
- Flight connections: The expansion of low-cost carrier networks and shorter flights from European capitals make traveling easier.
- Price-to-quality ratio: The average price for a weekly vacation is significantly lower than in Greece or Spain.
- Cultural heritage: Combining a beach holiday with visits to historical sites such as Nessebar (a UNESCO World Heritage site) adds value to the stay.
