The National Development Programme BULGARIA 2030, adopted by the Council of Ministers on 2 December 2020 and published by the Ministry of Finance, is a strategic framework outlining the vision and goals for Bulgaria's development across various sectors, including tourism. It aims to develop Bulgaria as a competitive, year-round destination by enhancing cultural and natural assets, improving infrastructure, and promoting innovation in tourism services.

The programme emphasises sustainable tourism aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, supporting regional development, digital transformation, and the diversification of tourism offerings. It also highlights the importance of preserving cultural heritage, fostering public-private partnerships, and increasing Bulgaria’s visibility on the international tourism map. These efforts are intended to contribute to economic growth, social cohesion, and balanced territorial development by 2030.
