The revenues from vacation tourism could possibly increase by EUR 50 M in 2011, the Bulgarian State Tourist Agency reported. The forecast is largely based on the expected results from the implementation of 6 projects under the European "Regional Development" program. The projects' realization would increase room occupancy by 1,2% in 2011, with Bulgarians paying for an additional 24,000 accommodations and foreign visitors - an additional 70,000, which would generate the extra EUR 50 M in revenues. It is expected that by 2011, 10,000 more Bulgarian tourists would chose to vacation in the country, instead of abroad. The newly prepared advertisement campaign to promote Bulgaria as a tourist destination is going to target 310 million people while the funds would be provided by the "Regional Development" program.
