With its beautiful beach resorts, beautiful
mountains and romantic cities, Bulgaria has
been on the holiday radar for those in the
know for years. But now, thanks to a rise
in quality accommodation, cheap flights and
some of the lowest holiday prices around,
mainstream travel companies like Thomas Cook
and lowcostholidays.com are listing Bulgaria as one of the top destinations
for UK travellers.
One of the things that's got UK travellers
and travel companies interested in Bulgaria,
as a relatively new holiday destination,
is it's year round appeal. Bulgaria unlike
that of Spain is not tied to a summer high
season, so it is making commercial sense
for travel companies to invest advertising
funds and resources to sourcing hotels and
holiday packages in Bulgaria for projected
annual revenue rather than the seasonal spikes
experienced for the more traditional Mediterranean
resorts. Bulgaria is hitting the mark with
its sophisticated seaside towns, winter ski
resorts and city break options, giving travel
companies three distinct holidays to sell.
Bulgaria has the appeal of having something
for all tourists making return on investment
all the more likely to be significant for
travel companies.
In the summer months, the lively beach resorts
along the Black Sea coast are rivalling the
strong hold the traditional European Mediterranean
resorts have held. Sunny Beach is the breakout
most popular resort with visitors, as the
resort has all the attractions the seasoned
European traveller has come to expect from
a modern holiday resort for a fraction of
the price. The clean beaches and warm waters
draw crowds throughout the day, while water
parks, theme parks and a range of water sports
ensure the more active are well catered for.
The nearby town of Nessebar is also proving
a hit with UK holidaymakers who are charmed
by its combination of busy beach resort and
fascinating historic site. An old quarter
filled with cobbled streets, interesting
museums and medieval churches gives Nessebar
a cultural edge, while the new town's
beaches have everything you would want from
a holiday in the sun.
The huge choice of excursions is another
reason that Bulgaria Holidays are becoming
an increasingly popular choice. With fascinating
archaeological sites, beautiful cities and
modern attractions like aquariums and theme
parks within an easy day trip from the major
resorts, Bulgaria has plenty to offer to
rival the attractions of some of Europe's
most popular destinations.
The capital of Sofia is another jewel in
Bulgaria's crown; once an obscure Eastern
European city, Sofia has blossomed in recent
years to become an exciting city break destination
in its own right. One of the oldest cities
in Europe, it boasts a wealth of historic
ruins, world-class museums and galleries
and impressive open spaces, as well as a
thriving dining and nightlife. Sofia in particular
is increasingly attracting the more middle
aged affluent European professional looking
for somewhere different for a short city
break.
In the winter months, Bulgaria's winter
ski resorts in the picturesque mountains
are providing an affordable alternative to
the more established ski resorts of France,
Italy and Austria. The combination of low
prices, great facilities and excellent accommodation
are making it an appealing option for those
on a budget or looking for somewhere new.
Resorts like Borovets, Pamporovo and Bankso
are particularly popular with their English
language ski schools, offering tuition at
great value prices. The wide variety of accommodation
on offer covering everything from hostels
and chalets to luxury hotels are playing
their part in their marketability to European
travellers.
Whether it's for an escape to the sun,
a city break or a skiing holiday with a difference,
it seems that Bulgaria is a top holiday destination
that's here to stay. With more and more
low cost airlines flying into the major Bulgarian
airports from all major European hubs, Bulgaria
is likely to remain a highly competitive
holiday destination choice for the future.
