For 2 months, Bulgaria has managed to attract 50% of tourists who usually spend their holidays in Turkey or Greece, according to an analysis by the Romanian travel agency Travel Planner.

A number of tourists with average or above average incomes headed to Bulgaria. They plan to spend more money because they are used to quality in Greece and Turkey. Bulgaria is the most accessible destination for Romanian tourists as no PCR tests are required for them and no case of Covid-19 has been reported on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The country remains one of the safest European destinations, said Sebastian Constantinescu, the agency's executive director, quoted by BTA.
