News from the World Tourist Organisation

Hello again!

I found some interesting news in the latest version of The Sofia Weekly, a weekly electronic newspaper eminating from Sofia. The article was about the potential for Bulgaria to become a hot golfing location, but the last sentence in the article was the real grabber for me: "By 2020 nearly every third visitor to Europe will choose a central or Eastern European destination, according to the World Tourism Organisation."

Wow!

If you are in, or want to get into the tourist business, guess where I would recommend you go! In the same direction, there was another article in the same Sofia Weekly edition about the 10'000 Romanian tourists who took a long (4-day) weekend last weekend at the beach. Where? In Bulgaria! Why? Firstly, apparently almost all of the Romanian hotels were closed, but also, the Romanians reported that a 4-star hotel on the beach in Bulgaria was less expensive than an equivalent Romanian hotel! Mmm...

Take a look at the complete articles at Good2004.biz/news.htm.

Ciao for now...
