Bulgaria saw a 7.3 percent growth in the number of foreign tourists from January till November 2017 on the same period of the previous year, figures released by the National Statistical Institute suggest.

This would be a record high and we are going to work very hard to achieve it”, Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova commented the official statistics. Once again she vowed that the Ministry of Tourism would continue its active work for turning Bulgaria into an all-year-round destination.
