The Bulgarian capital city Sofia will host the 33rd edition of the Holiday & Spa Expo International Tourist Fair, reports the Sofia News Agency Novonite.com
The largest tourist forum in Bulgaria will take place at the Inter Expo Center in Sofia between Thursday and Saturday.
Despite the problems in the tourist sector in 2015, more tour operators, hoteliers and national tourist organisations have confirmed their participation at this year’s edition of the fair.
More than 380 exhibitors, including resorts, tour operators, sector organisations and municipalities both from Bulgaria and abroad, is taking part.
Among the new participants this year is Indonesia. The Hungarian Ministry of Tourism will also participate for the first time.
There will be also representatives from Turkey, Serbia, Macedonia, Morocco, Cuba, Croatia, Russia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Poland, USA, Czech Republic, Portugal and Romania.
The Bulgarian tourism ministry will have its own stall, as will municipalities and spa resorts.
The focus of Sofia’s stand will be on the city’s status as European Capital of Sport in 2018. Several popular Bulgarian sportsmen from the recent past have been invited to give autographs to visitors at the stand.
Plovdiv will have an interactive stall, focusing on its designation as European Capital of Culture in 2019.
Varna, Veliko Tarnovo and Stara Zagora will also have their own stands and present their cultural sites.
Samokov will mark the 120th anniversary of the foundation of the oldest winter resort in Bulgaria – Borovets.
The event is organised under the aegis of the Ministry of Tourism, in partnership with Sofia municipality and tourist organisations.
The organisers will make a charity auction, with the money collected at the auction to be awarded to a student from the professional tourism high School.
