Anticipated heavy traffic looms over Bulgaria as the nation gears up for the upcoming holidays. According to projections from the Institute for Analyzes and Assessments in Tourism, nearly 1 million Bulgarians are expected to embark on journeys during this period.

150,000 Bulgarians will travel abroad during the holidays, with the main preferences for the neighboring Balkan countries - Greece, Turkey, Northern Macedonia, Croatia and Serbia.

Around 4,000 Bulgarians take cruises every year, Rumen Draganov, Director of the Institute for Analyzes and Assessments in Tourism, said.
