Tourism in Bulgaria is a significant contributor to the country’s economy. In 2008 Bulgaria was visited by 8.9 million tourists, as outlined by the World Tourism Organization. Tourists from three countries – Greece, Romania and Turkey – account for 40% of visitors. New types of tourism, including cultural, architectural and historic tours, eco-tourism, and adventure tours, are expanding the range of visitor experiences. The tourist industry, especially on the seaside, continues to suffer from poor advertisement. BTA is intended to fill this gap.

Sea Resorts -a handful of luxury resorts – Albena, Golden Sands and Sunny Beach – were a gathering point for the Eastern Bloc elite. The local Black Sea coast was sometimes called “the Red Riviera” as it had no dangerous wildlife, a long summer season and a very warm climate. In the early 1960s, these resorts began attracting rich tourists from the West, who usually summered at Cannes or Nice, but the egalitarian society of Bulgaria at the time repulsed elaterin guests. Nevertheless, the number of tourists visiting Bulgaria’s coastline from both East and West steadily increased throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Tourism became a strategic sector in the economy, and it holds this position to a certain degree today. The number of tourists has been growing rapidly in recent years; in 2010, Bulgaria was the most popular tourist destination for British citizens.
