The people of Bulgaria make many claims: they invented the wheel, the digital watch and the Cyrillic alphabet. But whatever the locals say they have been responsible for in the past, there is no doubt that Bulgaria is witnessing a tourist boom in the present. Recent figures suggest that as many as three million tourists visit the country each year from all over Europe, including Russia, Romania and increasingly Great Britain and Ireland. With spectacular mountain scenery, impressive cities and great Black Sea resorts, Bulgaria has much to offer tourists – both in summer and winter.

The Rhodope Mountains offer a year-round tourist experience with superb skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and hiking and extreme sports in the summer. For winter sport enthusiasts the Bulgarian nirvana is Pamporovo in the Smolyan Province, some 260 km from the capital of Sofia. Surrounded by lush pine forests, the resort boasts modern hotels, great facilities and 25km of ski runs all at an altitude of a minimum of 1620 metres above sea level. Winters at Pamporovo are not severe and an average of 150 days of snowfall each year allows for an extended skiing season.

Bulgaria is a country in the Balkan region. It is a country with a very rich and wonderful history. Its roots go back to the Thracian, Greek and Roman times. Bulgaria is a country with a diversity of landscape with tremendous variety. From snow peaks of the Balkan, to the wild and sunny coasts of the Black Sea, to the hilly country and plains, from the wonderful sight of Danube River, you can find this diversity all in one little country. That is why it is no wonder that this country represents a good opportunity for the real estate investment. The real estate market is in a constant growth, especially after the country joined the EU in 2007.

Bulgaria is considered one of the fastest progressing countries in Europe. Property in Bulgaria is of high interest especially in the coastal and mountain regions, as well as the big city locations which gets more and more popular and attractive for investments in real estate. Bulgaria is not such a highly industrialised country and is a fairly new EU member country thus making the real estate prices lower in comparison with the Western Europe real estate market. The growth of the real estate market is estimated to be 31% per annum. The booming Bulgarian real estate market is also explained due to its resorts. Many tourists come to Bulgaria during both summer and winter which is why instead of paying money for hotels the tourists invest in the real estate like villas and apartments near the sea, or in houses in the mountains.
