Caucasus

The arrival of the largest hotel business companies (Marriott, Hilton, etc.) in the Caucasus only confirms the fact that the demand for the region with tourists from all over the world is growing.
Armenia with its ancient history and numerous monuments, Azerbaijan with the fire worshipper temples and Georgia with its world-famous cuisine and many other attractions are the reasons for thousands of tourists to travel to the Caucasus. States of the Caucasus have the richest historical background. For example, present-day Armenia is a direct continuation of Urartu, one of the oldest states on the planet. The Georgian religious monuments and the Georgian Orthodox Church are considered almost a peer of Jesus Christ. And the fact that Georgia is a country with millennial traditions of winemaking is well-known throughout the world. It is not surprising that the wine tours are very popular in Georgia. And, of course, it’s impossible to imagine a complete picture of the Caucasus without the monuments of Azerbaijan. The main calling card attractions of Azerbaijan are: the famous Maiden's Tower, which is the symbol of the country, palaces of the medieval Shervanshah rulers of Azerbaijan and old bridges across the river Araz.
Extreme sport in the Caucasus is another attractive way of leisure. Skiing, trekking, rafting and other extreme forms of recreation are to be found by everyone, used to high levels of adrenaline in his blood. And traditional Caucasus hospitality and famous Caucasus wine will enable you to fully enjoy the beauty and attractiveness of the region.

Holidays in Bulgaria: visa-free regime for Schengen owners
The Bulgarian government decided to simplify for many tourists the procedure of entering the country. From now on all people with a valid Schengen visa can go on holiday to Bulgaria without national visa. In such way Bulgaria is preparing its structures for the upcoming country’s entry into the visa-free regime, which today functions between the EU countries.
The decision to introduce new visa rules was taken by the Bulgarian cabinet of ministers on Wednesday January 26, 2011. According to the Bulgarian cabinet, the new visa policy will spur the tourist interest and will make Bulgaria more attractive to foreign investors.
Schengen visa owners will be able to get permission to enter Bulgaria and stay on its territory for a period of up to 3 months during the six months from the date of first entry.
It should be noted that the new visa rules in Bulgaria will be useful not only for the EU citizens, but also tourists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, who have a Schengen visa.
New measures, inter alia, must stir up not only the tourism sector, but also resort property market in Bulgaria. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008 leading Black Sea resorts in Bulgaria have marked decreasing of the square meter price. Opportunity to visit the country for Schengen owners will facilitate entry of potential buyers and will indirectly stimulate the demand for Bulgarian property.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria, in 2011 its consulates issued in total 733 623 visas, which is by 18% more than in 2010.
