In the period from January to May 2011, the number of Russian tourists in Bulgaria increased by 23%, compared to the same period last year, announced yesterday Ivo Marinov, Deputy Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism (MEET) during the presentation of the results of the integrated advertising campaign of Bulgarian tourism in Russia.According to him, the Russian market has the greatest development potential and the forecasts are for trips from there to increase by 44% next year. The data from the study of this market shows that the stay of Russian tourists in Bulgaria is12 nights, which is one night more than their stay in Turkey and Greece. During their trips, Russian tourists spend €840 per person on average, or €69 per night. Russian tourists in Bulgaria are mostly young and middle-aged people but, in the future, the target group will be tourists of up to 34 years of age. “Some 24% of all Russian tourists are families with children,” explained Marinov.
According to data of MEET, some 80% of the visits of Russian people are made with the purpose of spending their holidays since three-quarters of them go to the sea coast. Rooms and apartments in 4-star and 5-star hotels are the preferred type of accommodation. Sea tourism accounts for some 70-75% of the revenues in the sector.
