Economy and Toursim in Bulgaria - Week 5 - Romina Vanhove

Hello everyone!

I’m sure I don’t have to repeat that we’re visiting Bulgaria at the moment.. Anou and Anneleen already informed you all about that.. Well, now I think of it, I did repeat it right? Well, eum, yes, like they already said, we’re visiting Bulgaria, and the beautiful city Sofia.

Bulgaria is a member of the European Union since 2007. This means that it has to deal with a lot of European rules and legislation. The currency is the lev. We went to a local bar to have a drink, and we had to pay 20 lev, one lev is about half an euro, so it’s not that difficult for us to calculate the difference.
While traveling, we noticed a lot of companies that we know from their products or because they have a factory at home as well. We’ve noticed the factory of Siemens, Hewlett-Packard and a lot more.. Because we are a little short of money and we have a tight scheme, we didn’t have the budget and time to visit one of the companies. 

When we checked in the hotel, we looked in the travel guide of Bulgaria - Julie has bought one for all the countries that we are visiting – In the travel guide we could read that there is a massive foreign investment that has created a construction boom. That’s why the tourism in Bulgaria is expanding so fast. There are a lot of tourists that are discovering this country, and the number of foreigners that are investing in property here is outrageous! In the travel guide there were a lot of pictures of the giant hotels that are built at the coast. Oh, I think it would be great to visit Bulgaria again in Summer! 

Well, my time is up here at the internet café! Thank you all for following us on our tour.. Our next stop is still open for discussion, but I’m pretty sure that Julie, Roselinde and Melissa will tell you all about our next country!

With love

Romina!
