German tourists less interested in Bulgaria

Bulgaria loses positions on the German tourism market, research on the attitude of German tourists showed.

The research was presented at the opening of ITB Berlin tourism exhibition.

Major German tour operators registered a decrease in bookings for summer vacations in Bulgaria, Dnevnik daily said.

The number of German tourists to visit Bulgaria in 2006 was five per cent lower than figures for 2005. Tourism agencies predict further decrease of two to 10 per cent.

Still, companies tried to offer attractive packages to attract tourists to make early bookings, Dnevnik said. Most German tourists prefer last-minute booking.

The market research also showed that expenses of German tourists will increase by two per cent in 2007. Germans spent 60.5 billion euro on tourism in 2006, Dnevnik said.
