Bulgarians Travel More, but Mainly to Neighboring Countries
Published
More and more Bulgarians have been traveling abroad in recent years. According to data published by Forbes Bulgaria, travel is increasing, but most people choose nearby destinations.
The most popular destinations for Bulgarian tourists are the neighboring countries. Many people go to Greece, Turkey, Romania, and Serbia. The reasons are lower costs, shorter travel times, and easy access by car or bus. For some families, this is also a more convenient way to spend a weekend or a short break.
Distant destinations, such as Asia or the Americas, remain less sought after. Trips there are usually more expensive and require more time and planning. Nevertheless, interest in them is gradually growing, especially among younger people, who have greater freedom when choosing a vacation.
Experts believe that the trend toward travel within the region will continue in the coming months. For the tourism industry, this is important information, because it shows what kinds of offers customers are looking for. Companies that offer package tours and transport to neighboring countries expect a good season.
