Bansko

Next week, thousands of Greek tourists are expected to visit Bulgaria during the three weekends, according to Bulgarian operators in our southern neighbor.

There are many student groups for Bansko.

In total, there are more than 56,000 Ukrainians in accommodations and state resorts, said in an interview with BTA the Minister of Tourism Hristo Prodanov.

Hundreds of Russian tourists are blocked in Bansko due to the canceled flights. Many of them also found themselves without funds, as they could not make payments with their cards. The only way to return is through Turkey or Serbia. There has also been speculation about the supply of tickets, according to tour operators and hoteliers.

Due to the military actions in Ukraine, dozens of reservations in Bansko were canceled in just a few days. The tourist business in the city expects the number of canceled vacations to continue to grow, both for the end of the winter season and for the summer season.

The Regional Health Inspectorate and the police in Bansko detained a 40-year-old man who was conducting covid tests and issuing certificates without the permission of the Blagoevgrad Health Inspectorate.

The arrest came in the afternoon yesterday after RHI employees pretended to be customers and paid for the tests without being examined.

The British Hotel group Quartz Inn Hotels has opened the nominations for the GrINN Awards 2022, the European Awards devoted exclusively to Sustainability in the Tourism Industry.

Greek tourists will rest in our country. After the mass refusals of reservations in recent days, the tourism industry has received assurances that the mandatory PCR test for vaccinated Greek citizens will be dropped. Our winter resorts are preparing for the upcoming season, and business is expecting a good season.

The winter season in Bansko will be officially opened on Saturday, December 18, 2021, Yulen AD announced. In suitable weather conditions, some slopes in the ski area will be processed and opened before the official opening of the ski season.

There is a great interest in Bulgaria. We have twice as many tourists as last year, but now the winter season is even happier, as flights to and from the UK and Russia, where there is even more interest, will be resumed. Bulgaria remains competitive. This was commented to BNT by Rumen Draganov, director of the Institute for Tourism Assessment and Analysis.

Bansko is going to be The Digital Nomad Capital this summer
