The Ministry of Tourism will represent Bulgaria at the EMITT (East Mediterranean International Tourism & Travel Exhibition), which opened in early February in Istanbul. Traditionally, tens of thousands of tourists and industry professionals gathered at the forum.
On the Bulgarian side, ten tour operators, municipalities and industry professionals are hosting. “The EMIITT exhibition is another opportunity for the Bulgarian tourism industry to attract more Turkish tourists to our country,” the ministry said.
According to data obtained by monitoring the tourist flow at border checkpoints in the country, between January and November 2023, the total number of visits to Bulgaria by tourists from Turkey amounted to 677,899, which is 30% more than a year earlier.
95 countries will be represented at the 27th edition of EMITT, and among the expected topics are economics, destination marketing, trends in the sector, and medical tourism.
