Representatives of German tourism agencies expressed interest in the measures Bulgaria will undertake to limit coastal construction in the summer, head of the state tourism agency Mario Al-Djeboury said.

Al-Djebouri participated in a press conference at the biggest international tourism exhibition in Berlin, Focus news agency reported. Bulgaria participates in the forum for the 38th consecutive time.

The increase in the number of German visits to Bulgarian Black Sea resorts will be on the rise this summer, Al-Djebouri said. Yet the all-time high from 2004 would not be achieved. Bulgaria continues attracting German tourists through alternative tourism opportunities, said he.

Spa tourism is one of  the developing sectors, Al-Djebouri said. Foreign tourists also show interest in cultural, archaeological and history tourism. The state should put effort in developing these opportunities and creating the needed infrastructure, the Bulgarian National Radio reported.

Back from the biggest tourist venue the ITB in Berlin - Once again Bulgarian stand on the fair was one of the worst looking ones. There was plenty of space provided and nothing much done with it. There was not a single photo, a banner or presentation focusing on Bulgaria's most attractive tourist destinations - Mountains and winter resorts and Black Sea coast with its beautiful sandy beaches. The people on the stand looked totally bored and seems like they have only joined for the party and the free, all expenses paid excursion to Berlin... And it was the same last year...And it was the same on WTM in London for the past couple of years... When will this change?? Is it not about time to have some people who know about modern tourist industry organizing such venues?? Is it not about time to start presenting our country the right way? Until when will we have old time communist era uncles and aunties stealing government and EU money instead of using it for improving Bulgaria’s image in front of the world? When will we see modern stands, motivated and well prepared young people presenting Bulgaria as the incredible tourist destination that it is??
