A meeting entitled The Bear in the Context of Ecotourism: Opportunities and Perspectives is taking place today at the municipal building in Smolyan, a town in the Rhodope Mountains.
Organised by WWF Bulgaria and the New Horizons – Smolyan association, the event aims to bring together representatives from tourist information centres, guesthouses, tour operators and other organisations involved in tourism.

The meeting is held within the framework of the project Coexisting with bears – Conservation needs Conversation!, funded by a European programme.
