Tourists have already taken 60% of the beds in the Bulgarian seaside resorts, announced the website expert.bg. Three and four star hotels nearest to the coast are preferred.

The number of the first visitors at the seaside resorts is about 20 000 people, said the chairman of the Bulgarian tourist chamber Tsvetan Tonchev.

The summer tourist season was officially opened on May 5th in Varna, Burgas and the Sunny beach.

A growth in the number of tourists from Russia, Poland and Israel is expected. A decrease of the number of visitors from Germany and Malta is also expected.
