Golf to Improve Bulgaria Tourism Image

Golf clubs and resorts are going to improve Bulgaria’s image as tourist destination by offering an alternative to the concrete cities that have been built on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coasts, announced Darik news Tuesday citing the German news agency DPA.

The article begins with a description of the golf club in Ravno Pole, located 25 km away from Sofia, adding that at the moment 19 golf courses are being constructed in Bulgaria, including the one worth 50 million euros near Pravets.

According to DPA, the golf course in Ravno Pole is visited by more and more Sofia residents, diplomats and foreign investors.

Experts believe that the strong investment interest would lead to the eventual construction of a total of 40 golf courses in Bulgaria with the Cabinet supporting plans to turn the country into an international golf destination.

After the construction boom on the sea coast, the upcoming summer was going to show if Bulgaria’s tourism would be able to escape its concrete sins and return to nature, according to DPA, which reminds that 2007 was a record tourist year with international sea and ski resorts in Bulgaria attracting over 5 million tourists.
