17Apr. 2008 Bulgaria - Germany's top 10 Tourist destination
Bulgaria has been ranked ninth among Germany's most popular tourist destinations by the GIATA-Ranking Agency, the Bulgarian Union of Tourism Investors announced.
Bulgaria has improved its ranking index from 1.7 in March, 2007, to 2.2 in March, 2008. Spain ranks first as a destination for German tourists, followed by its island Maiorca, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Tunisia, and Thailand.
The ranking was based on analysis of the work of 16 000 travel agencies in Germany, offering reservations at 60 000 hotels around the world.
Bulgaria is the only former Soviet Bloc country in the top ten of the ranking. None of the Bulgarian Black Sea resorts, however, is in top ten of the resorts most visited by Germans.
Representatives of the Union of Tourism Investors commented that Bulgaria's modest advertising campaign in Germany and the lack of advertising materials did not serve to improve its image as a top tourist destination.
The main tourist operators managing Germans' vacations to Bulgaria are TUI, Thomas Cook-Neckermann, ITS Koeln, and Altours. The charter flights to Bulgaria from thirty airports in Germany begin on April 29 and end on October 27.
14Apr. 2008 Lyulin Highway to Belt Sofia Earlier than Planned The construction of the new Lyulin Highway to belt Sofia city is likely to be completed earlier than it was planned, Bulgaria's Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev said during a tour along the facility on Sunday.
"If the building works follow the same rhythm, the highway will be ready in the mid-summer of 2009," the premier foresaw.
During the inspection, PM Stanishev was accompanied by the Regional Development Minister Assen Gagauzov.
The official start of the project was given by Stanishev himself, who turned the first sod in January last year.
About EUR 148 M will be invested in the construction of Lyulin Highway. Bulgarian government will finance 25% of the project and the remaining 75% will be funded under the ISPA program of the EU.
The highway, which will be a part of Trans-European transport corridors 4 and 8, will be 20 kilometers in total. It will have two lanes in each direction with a maximum possible velocity of 100-110 km/h.
The facility will have a complex structure supplied with 26 bridges and viaducts, three road junctions and three tunnels.
The highway will ease the extremely heavy traffic on the route Sofia-Thessaloniki. Part of it, closer to the Greek border, is also Struma highway whose newest 39-km stretch, linking Dupnitza and Daskalovo.
The strategy for development and modernization of the country's infrastructure has been pinned high on the government's agenda, particularly after it joined the EU.
Bulgaria plans to construct 717,14 km of highways by 2015.
