Cruise tourism is a wonderful perspective for the development of the regional town of Vidin situated on the bank of the Danube River.About 181 river tourism ships are expected to be delivered and their number is increased by 10 % compared to the previous year. 22 000 cruise tourists visited the nice town in 2014, Nikolina Angelkova, the Bulgarian Minister of Transport has pointed out.
We need to take advantage of this opportunity and the municipalities should join their efforts to offer to the tourists interesting objects. The regional management works continuously as a German province is included in the joint project – Ortenau. An individual tourist package is drawn up for the arriving cruise tourists.
The package includes visits of historical and natural landmarks in the riverside town of Vidin and in the town of Belogradchik.
We are currently working on the signing of the declaration for enhancing the river cruise tourism, Angelkova said and added that this is about to be accomplished during the meeting of the ministers of tourism which will take place on 8 and 9 June in the Bulgarian capital city of Sofia.

Buying property in Europe from the other side of the world, presents all manner of difficulties, even before one factors in the current martial law in Philippines , and Brexit ( for a UK passport ) in Europe. I had previous experience of buying in Bulgaria, and already knew a number of local agents. Kunka, I came to know about a year before I finally managed to make the return... she admitted that the extraordinary set of circumstances I faced, took more than a little understanding, since they seemed unbelievable. Nonetheless, she neither flinched, nor blinked, and with utmost patience, helped me through not only the purchase, but a whole heap of other problems. Both she and Hristov were kindness itself, and always stood ready to assist. Not only were they very capable as agents, and professional in every way, but their assistance has been extremely welcome, given the immense difficulties faced. With experience of agents here and internationally, I'm happy to offer the highest of recommendations for their professionalism , help well beyond the terms of house purchase, and for their sincerity and friendship.
