WHAT IS NEXT? How hotels and restaurants can use the momentum after the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU?

ABOUT THE EVENT

The EU-presidency has put Bulgaria in the European spotlight. Newspapers, TV-stations, blogs and social media have been publishing and talking about Bulgaria and its role in Europe. As a result, interest from tourist has increased which led to more bookings in hotels, restaurants and other venues.
