On the initiative of the Ministry of Tourism, the national tourism logo and promotional materials about Bulgaria have been displayed in the ‘bistro’ carriages of the Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ). This is part of a joint project with the Ministry of Transport and Communications and the national railway carrier to promote our tourist routes.

"Many of Bulgaria's landmarks can be reached by rail. Bulgarian and foreign tourists will have the opportunity to learn more about the beauty of our homeland during their trip," the Minister of Tourism, Dr. Ilin Dimitrov, said at the official presentation of the initiative.

"This is one small step towards a more enjoyable experience. An opportunity to combine comfortable travel with a visit to our wonderful tourist destinations," Minister of Transport and Communications Georgi Peev said.

The two ministers symbolically played a game of chess, trying out the board games provided for passengers in the bistro cars.

The Ministry of Tourism is currently developing an entirely new national tourism portal, which will collect in one place up-to-date and useful information about tourism opportunities in the country. It will also include BDZ timetables for some of our most popular tourist routes, so that everyone can easily plan their trip.
