The updated strategy for tourism in Bulgaria, approved on February 2, 2018, and adopted by the Ministry of Tourism, outlines the national path toward sustainable tourism development from 2014 to 2030. This strategy organizes the vision, strategic goals, priorities, and activities necessary to establish sustainable schemes for developing and managing tourism activities. A significant challenge highlighted in the strategy is climate change, which necessitates efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt destinations through product updates. For a more comprehensive understanding, the strategy document is available for further exploration via the attached link.
