Bulgaria's Tourism Industry Shakes off Jitters

The released figures come amid fears that overconstruction and poor infrastructure would harm the tourism industry this year.

Nearly 100% of the bed capacity in Bulgaria's major sea resorts have been booked, according to a report of the Culture and Tourism Ministry.

It shows that European Union members account for more than half of the 2,7 million foreign holiday-makers who visited Bulgaria by the end of July. 
The number of the British tourists is marking an increase by 42% in comparison with the same period last year, those from Spain - 38%. The tourists from Scandinavian countries have gone up by 30%. The same upward trend is visible in the number of tourists from the newly acceded EU member states - Poland (16%), the Czech Republic (12,5%).
