Minister Angelkova had a working meeting with representatives of the Association of the Turkish Travel Agencies (TURSAB)

The Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova had a working meeting with Ali Bilir, a member of the executive office of the Association of the Turkish Travel Agencies (TURSAB). They met in Istanbul during the Bulgarian-Turkish business forum in the sphere of tourism. They both discussed the possibilities for promoting tourist visits in the two countries and promising investment projects in this sector.

It is very important for us to attract more tourists and interest for investment in Bulgaria, commented Minister Angelkova. We are willing to discuss the signing of the cooperation agreement with TURSAB, which will serve as a basis for joint implementation of various initiatives for popularizing tourism, said the minister. We are also working to implement various information and investment rounds with Turkish tour operators.

Mr. Ali Bilir thanked for Bulgaria’s preparation and hospitality during the first session of the Joint Bulgarian-Turkish working group in the sphere of tourism, which was held in Sofia in November. He also commented that such meetings between the neighbouring states need to be held on a regular basis.
