Bulgarian Summer 2008 - 15-20% More Expensive

Because of the ceaseless increasing of petrol and fuel prices, the tourists' vacations packages are expected to become 15 to 20% more expensive during the present summer season, mainly because of the airplane tickets.

That was announced by the Bulgarian Touroperators and Tourist Agencies Association's president Irina Naidenova.  

According to Naidenova, the changes will happen in two directions - one of increasing of the tourist package price in common, and the other - revising of the single components of the elements of these packages.

This will harm mainly the hotelier services, as the direction will be compressing of the hotel's prices, says Naidenova.

Though, if all market subjects play by the rules of business, there will be round 15% increase of the tourist packages, Naidenova added. international.ibox.bg
