Bulgaria and Romania Strengthen Their Cooperation in Tourism
Bulgaria and Romania are discussing new ways to improve their cooperation in the tourism sector. One of the main ideas is the appointment of a Bulgarian tourism attaché in Bucharest in 2026. This step aims to strengthen the ties between the two neighboring countries and support businesses.
Romania is one of the most important markets for Bulgarian tourism. In 2025, our country was visited by nearly 1.4 million Romanian tourists. They choose Bulgaria not only for their summer vacations along the Black Sea coast but also for short weekend trips to various parts of the country.
The new tourism attaché will have an important task. They will work directly with Romanian tour operators and media to better present holiday opportunities in Bulgaria. This will help attract even more visitors and facilitate communication between the tourism sectors of the two countries.
Romanian tourists often choose Bulgaria because of its geographical proximity and good value for money. In addition to the popular seaside resorts, they are showing increasing interest in cultural tourism, spa treatments, and winter sports in the Bulgarian mountains.
This cooperation is of great importance for the economy of the entire region. Through joint efforts and better advertising, Bulgaria and Romania can become an even more attractive destination for tourists from Southeast Europe and the world.
