Bulgaria Cultural Tourism Not Affected by Global Crisis
April 10, 2009

The sixth annual "Cultural Tourism" expo was launched Wednesday in the Bulgarian city of Veliko Tarnovo.

 

This year's edition of the expo includes 300 representatives from 12 countries.

 

At the opening ceremony, the Chair of Bulgaria's State Tourist Agency, Anelya Krushkova, said that cultural tourism was one of the few sectors that have not been affected negatively by the global financial crisis. Krushkova informed that while Bulgaria's winter resorts registered a 6,5% reduction in the number of tourists this season, 2,5% more people have visited Veliko Tarnovo's historical sites.

 

Blagoy Ragin, Chair of the Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association (BHRA) supported Krushkova's statement. Ragin said that Veliko Tarnovo and Velingrad were the two destinations that were pulling the country's tourism forward and added BHRA was going to nominate Veliko Tarnovo for the Balkans' Cultural Capital.

 

The expo's participants will have the opportunity to learn about the Italian and Spanish experience in preserving cultural and historical sites and turning them into tourist attractions along with the procedures to register a particular site as a world historical heritage and treasure.

 

The guest will further enjoy special tours, hotels, restaurants, exhibits and other attractions.

 

The Villa "Aldimira" in the southern town of Ivaylovgrad received the award of the State Tourist Agency. The award is bestowed for special contributions in turning the country's cultural and historic heritage into a tourist destination.

 

BHRA will also, for the first time, present their award for contributions to the development of the local cultural tourism.

Bulgaria Says No Need to Speed up Euro Adoption

April 09, 2009

 

Bulgaria's finance minister has taken a stance against the immediate introduction of the euro, saying this would have no significant economic impact.

 

Plamen Oresharski statement came in reply to International Monetary Fund calls on central and eastern European countries to consider scrapping their currencies in favour of the euro even without formally joining the eurozone.

 

In a confidential IMF report, which leaked earlier in the week, the fund said the eurozone could relax its entry rules so countries could join as quasi-members, without European Central Bank board seats.

 

"Give me just one reason for concluding a new agreement with the IMF at this stage," Minister Oresharski said, adding that Bulgaria has been considering the adoption of the euro and its impact on the economy for more than ten years.

 

"We will do that if we have to, I can see no drama here," he added.

 

"Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone will have no dramatic consequences," the minister said, as cited by 24 Hours daily.

 

He pointed out that Bulgaria's economy has been adjusted to a fixed currency rate in 1997-2000 at times of cataclysms, fluctuations and problems.

 

Bulgaria's entry in the eurozone, initially scheduled for 2010, has been set back for some time around 2012. Experts say it is conditional on continued fiscal prudence and lower inflation.

 

In fact, Bulgaria has yet to join the Exchange Rate Mechanism, the "waiting room" for euro membership, amid concerns about its inflation rates and external trade imbalances. Stricter application of membership criteria has also been a factor in the delay.
