Bulgaria can receive 400 000 tourists from Israel
(News from Bulgaria)
Holidays in Bulgaria is losing its popularity due to the aggressive marketing, which is conducting by neighboring Turkey. However, Bulgaria this season can expect to change the situation. So, summer 2010 in Bulgaria promises to be the time and place of vacation for more than 400000 tourists from Israel. 400 000 is exactly the approximate number of Israeli tourists who had planned to vacation in Turkey. However, due to deteriorating of relations between the two countries after the incident with the breakthrough of the blockade of Gaza, the majority of Israeli vacationers canceled reservations of hotels in Turkey. And here among the simplest solutions for summer holiday is Bulgaria.
The fact that many Israelis this season can go on vacation to Bulgaria is reported by the Bulgarian press quoting Israeli Minister of welfare Isaac Herzog. It is also noted that the Minister had talks in early June with the Minister of Labor and Social Policy of Bulgaria, and that during the negotiations the parties came to an agreement on cooperation between the two countries in the area of ensuring quality environment for tourists from Israel.
For Israeli tourists, Turkey has traditionally been considered as one of the main directions of recreation. Historically, Israel and Turkey have experience of long-term cooperation in military sphere. However, the case with the capture of the Turkish ship by the Israeli Special Forces and the subsequent increased pressure on the Jewish Diaspora in Turkey has led many Israelis to change their plans for the summer.
It should be noted that Bulgaria is traditionally a holiday destination for many tourists from Eastern Europe. Many prefer Bulgaria due to the price factor. Nevertheless, the country tries to add quality to the image of inexpensive marine leisure region. Against this background tourists from Israel could provide for additional pluses to the reputation of Bulgaria.

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.
