A week earlier than last year, the millionth tourist was welcomed on Bulgaria's Southern Black Sea coast. This is Yvonne Becker, who arrived with her family on a flight from Berlin for a holiday in Obzor. The charter plane was greeted with a water salute.


The airport reports a 13% increase in passengers for the period January - July 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The last charter flight for the season on the Southern Black Sea coast this year is expected at the end of October.
