Kazanlak finally designated as capital of the Rose Valley
The new Ministry of Tourism has kept its disputed tourist region named ‘’The Valley of Roses’’ with its center – the town of Kazanlak and it has incorporated it as a final proposal to the Council of Ministers. This frame of reference is already introduced and it is expected to be accepted until the end of this month. According to it, Bulgaria will be divided into nine tourist regions with its core areas and towns until the end of 2016: Danube Region – Rousse, Balkan Mountains region – Veliko Turnovo, Sofia region – Sofia, Thrace region – Plovdiv, Valley of Roses – Kazanlak, Rila – Pirin region – Blagoevgrad, Rhodope – Smolyan, Varna region (Northern Black Sea Coast) - Varna and Burgas region (Southern Black Sea Coast) - Burgas.
Although Kazanlak region is not very extensive, many experts reckon that this region is worthy of becoming an individual region in the new tourist map of Bulgaria!
The Valley of Roses region with its center Kazanlak incorporates 19 municipalities: Anton, Zlatitsa, Karlovo, Mirkovo, Koprivshtitsa, Maglizh, Kazanlak, Nikolaevo, Sliven, Hisarya, Chavdar, Chelopech, Gurkovo, Pavel Banya, Sliven, Tvarditsa.
The areas envisaged to be developed are: cultural tourism (related to roses, Thracians, heritage from the Bulgarian National Revival); balneology (thanks to the outstanding SPA resorts of Hisarya, Pavel Banya) and some more mountainous, adventurous and wine tourism.
After their differentiation, every single region will be ruled by a local organization that will include municipalities and non-governmental organizations. These bodies should be specified until the end of 2016. They will have the opportunity to apply for the upcoming Regional Growth Fund programme with their own projects on tourism advertisement.
We can certainly recommend this company. They are profesional and extremely helpful. You hear many frightening stories of foreigners getting ripped off in Bulgaria by rogue agents and con men. The owners of this company could teach the English estate agents a lesson or two in customer care. Nothing is too much trouble to them. The whole buying experience went extremely smooothly. They took care of setting up bank accounts for us, both personal and the required buisness account. Registering the property and sorting utility bills. During our search for the right property in Bulgaria, we dealt with many different estate agents and without doubt these were the most helpful and friendly. Unlike UK estate agents where you get met at the house of your choice and ten minutes of their time, with Bulgarian House, you are driven around a range of houses within your given budget. We have now owned our house for just over a year and in that time we have turned to Bulgarian House for help and advice and they always act on our requests. We would certainly recommend paying them to project manage any work as they can be trusted and it is worth paying what we have found to be amazing value for money. In summary we trust them 100%. I would say try Bulgarian House first and you won\\\'t want or need to try another agent. Steve & Ann. Lancaster, England
