World Tourism Organisation will prepare Culinary Tourism Guide for Bulgaria

The UN World Tourism Organisation will prepare a Culinary Tourism Guide specifically for Bulgaria. This was announced by Zurab Pololikashvili – Secretary General of UNWTO during his official meeting with the Minister of Tourism Zaritza Dinkova, in Madrid. He thanked for the panel participation of Minister Dinkova in the 8th Global Forum for Gastronomic Tourism in San Sebastian, Spain.

‘The talks we had in San Sebastian and the presentation you made on Bulgaria motivated us to promote your country. Its culinary and wine tourism. I have personal impressions of Bulgaria and I know that you have a lot to offer in the field of gastronomy,’ Zurab Pololikashvili said.

Culinary tourism is one of the fastest growing industries, the UNWTO Secretary General added. ‘Bulgarian e-culinary offerings are impressive. They are developing very dynamically and we are ready to present them to the world,’ Pololikashvili added.

Minister Dinkova expressed gratitude for the appreciation. ‘Such promotion of Bulgaria is our top priority. My team and I are focused on promoting eco-culinary, cultural, spa and even golf tourism. With the development of these segments, our country will actually establish itself as a year-round destination,’ Minister Dinkova said.

The guidebook will be distributed in all 159 member countries of the UN World Tourism Organization, as well as at presentations at the organization's events.
