Bulgaria's Black Sea coast among top 5 destinations for German tourists

Bulgaria was fifth in a ranking of most preferred summer holiday destinations of German tourists, according to a study by Urlaub Perfekt magazine. The analysis was based on information provided by more than 1200 tourist agents, Dnevnik daily said.

German tourists preferred Bulgaria as a good family holiday destination.
Another factor was that the country offered affordable holiday opportunities. At the same time, however, Bulgaria lagged in providing good service to customers and in quality of hotels.

The research showed that the number of German tourists booking holidays in Bulgaria was growing, Dnevnik daily said.

The ranking was based on votes. Bulgaria won 255 votes, while the number one seaside destination, Spain, got 910 votes. Between Bulgaria and Spain ranked Turkey, Greece and Egypt.

According to Urlaub Perfekt, Bulgaria was a suitable destination for family tourism and as such, it was third after Turkey and Spain. Based on price-quality correlation, Bulgaria's Black Sea resorts were placed second after Turkish resorts. Based on individual tourists criteria Bulgaria was fifth.

Bulgaria was third in the list of destination about which the most complaints were received.
