Veliko Tarnovo is the heart of cultural tourism. This is something that even for myself I recognize as a personal cause. On a global scale, cultural tourism is developing very strongly in the post-covid period, and our country has huge potential in this regard”. This was commented in Veliko Tarnovo by the official minister of tourism, Evtim Miloshev. He is in Veliko Tarnovo for a round table with the mayor Daniel Panov. the regional governor and the tourism industry on the problems in the sector.
Miloshev commented on the programs for popularizing our country as a tourist destination, which are jointly financed by the Ministry of Tourism, municipalities and tour operators. They are already working on the Black Sea, and the goal is to multiply them in the interior of the country as well. “These are programs whose threshold is up to BGN 400,000, and now this threshold has been raised to BGN 600,000,” explained the acting minister.
The lack of personnel in tourism and the prestige of professions in the branch are the problems that representatives of the tourism branch and professional education put before the official minister of tourism.
“This is something worth investing in. The fact that in seasonal tourism we need labor from third countries means that there is a problem with people who are employed in the field of tourism,” Miloshev pointed out.
In Veliko Tarnovo, he attended the second premiere of the film “On the other side” by the journalist Martin Georgiev, the last western journalist who filmed at the headquarters of “Wagner” before the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin. The film, produced by the famous director Nikolay Rusakiev, opened the Sofia Film Fest, which for the 13th time visited the old capital with an excellent selection of film titles. This year, all screenings are free.
