The Winter Season in Bansko
01.01.2010
It's tough season for the hotels in Bansko. The unusual warm New
Year in Bulgaria with temperatures around 15C left the Bulgarian
Ski Resorts with no snow. Luckily enough there are snow machines
fighting with the sun in attempt to give the skiers what they
have come for. With the fewer tourists this year and the lack of
snow, the countless hotels are fighting for every customer
decreasing their prices with up to 30%!
The Belogradchik Rocks in Bulgaria are nominated for The New Seven Wonders!
02.06.2009
The Belogradchik Rocks are a group of bizarre sandstone and
limestone rock formations, reaching up to 200 m in height. They
form a strip, which is 30 km long and up to 3 km wide, and are
located north of the western slopes of Stara Planina, near the
town of Belogradchik in Bulgaria. The formations, which vary in
color from red through yellow to grey, are a product of erosion
and every distinct rock is named after an object it is believed
to resemble.

15.05.2009
According to Radio Plovdiv, the Singing Fountains in
Plovdiv
will work again for the summer. The major of Plovdiv, Slavcho
Atanasov, has given order for reconstruction of the fountains
for 40 days. By his words in the poll there should be swans and
water wheels again. The voltage of the lights will be also
lowered to prevent accidents. The price for this is still

Andre Gribi
from Switzerland, prognosticate on a meeting with the Board of
Directors of the Union for Investments in Tourism, that the
number of Russian tourists and business trips to Bulgaria is
about to increase.
13.05.2009
According to his words, the number of British tourists may drop,
but the interest of Bulgarians towards local resorts will jump.
The potential of Europe is not used enough, and this reserve may
give Bulgaria chance for increase of tourism incomes. The
interest of organizing seminars and business trips in Bulgaria
will also increase.
Mr. Gribi's advice towards Bulgarian investors is: Invest either
in low segments or in luxury vacancy settlements with golf,
tennis and spa, and avoid anything in the middle.
Two unique history discoveries about Bulgaria
revealed!
25.04.2009
The lecturer of old history in the History Department of Sofia
University 'St. Kliment Ohridski' reader doctor Konstantin
Boshnakov found out two unique signs, in the
Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak, that says "painted by Kodzimases"
and the second one "Roigos, son of Sevt III. Until this
discovery, the thracian Roigos, was know only by the coins of
this ruler. After his reveals, Bushnakov may now state that
Roigos was not only a considerable Thracian king from the tome
of the zenith of the Odrin's Kingdom in IV-III century B. CH,
but also son of the founder of the capital Sevtopolis - Sevt
III. These reveals are with no doubt of world meaning.
The Thracian Tomb of Kazanluk presented interest to many
historians round the world, but has remained unknown due to two
facts - first because no one knew who was the ruler buried in
the tomb and the second - who was the painter. With these
answers, a new page is opened for Ancient Thrace about the
cultural and political history.
There is a slight downturn in the number of
Englishmen in the Bulgarian ski resort of Pamporovo compared to
previous years.
09.04.2009
This shows a 4-month research of the
attitudes of the tourists in the region. The study has started
in December 2008 at the initiative of “Royal Lodge” complex, the
hoteliers in
Pamporovo, supported by the Smolyan and Devin
municipalities. The research aims at finding out the tourist
preferences, remarks and attitudes.
Every third Englishman is not satisfied with the
infrastructure of the resort. The best remarks are for the
service and the personal attitude of the personnel. 92%
assess the service as maids and the ski-teachers as "very good".
89% of the interviewed people are content with
the booking systems. 53% of the tourists
choose destination and hotel via the Internet.
From the foreign tourists the Englishmen, Russians and
Macedonians still prevail. This year the interest of the Greeks,
Serbians and Romanians was renewed.
