Bulgaria has welcomed over 200,000 Russian tourists for the period until the end of September, which is 22% more than for the same period last year.

Bulgaria and the Russian Federation will step up their cooperation in the sphere of tourism according to a draft agreement ratified by the cabinet Wednesday, the government press centre announced.

Apart from the traditional interest Russian tourists display in taking vacations at the Black Sea, they have started going on winter, balneological and SPA programmes.

Excursions to destinations within the country have also acquired greater popularity among Russian tourists. The guests show great interest in cultural and historical sites, as well as in extended tours to third countries.
