The Ministry of Tourism is holding intensive negotiations with most of the Arab League countries to present Bulgaria’s potential as a spa destination. This was stated in Velingrad by the Minister of Tourism Hristo Prodanov during a working meeting with representatives of the local government and business.

 “These countries have introduced a very high national budget for prevention and treatment with spa procedures. Our goal is to show our potential as a country that ranks second in terms of mineral springs in Europe, after Iceland, and to offer high quality services,” the minister explained. He recalled that there is a contract with the German Health Insurance Fund, which because of the pandemic has suffered some stagnation, but according to him, the relationship with Germany will soon be resumed in the direction of medical tourism.

Hotel-keepers from the resort raised issues before the Minister related to the promotion of tourist destinations and improvement of infrastructure. 

The working meeting was attended by the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Tourism Ilin Dimitrov, MPs, the Regional Governor of Pazardzhik Ivan Vasev, the Deputy Regional Governor of Pazardzhik Petya Tsankova and the Mayor of Velingrad Dr. Kostadin Koev.
