Poland
Poland is a country that has not yet fully realized their world tour opportunities. That is why now Poland is positioned as one of the most attractive new tourist regions. Poland is a very diverse country.

The Baltic Sea coast, which stretches from Pomerania to the Gulf of Gdańsk, has a large number of spits, inland waters and dunes. Central European lowland with 4 major Polish necklaces of lakes (Mazury necklace of Lakes, Kashubish necklace, Pomeranian and Great polish necklace) unites the north and centre of the country the lands near the Baltic Sea. Then begin large ancient river valleys of Mazovia and Silesia. In the south of Poland there are the Polish mountains: wooded Carpathians, Sudetenland and the highest mountain range in Poland, Tatra Mountains.
The largest Polish cities are: the capital Warsaw, Gdansk, Krakow, Szczecin, Bielostok. Each of them is unique and inimitable; each has its unique atmosphere. The most popular among the tourists are Krakow as the former capital of Rzeczpospolita, which preserved many ancient architectural monuments; Gdansk agglomeration with its three components, the Port of Gdansk, Gdynia and the resort town of Sopot; and, of course, the capital Warsaw.

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.
