Tourism is one of Bulgaria’s strategic sectors, contributing more than a tenth of this country's GDP, Bulgarian Industrial Association President Dobri Mitrev said here on Friday. He was speaking at a conference on international connectivity as key to the sustainable growth of the Bulgarian tourism sector. The event held at Grand Hotel Sofia on Friday was organized by the National Board of Tourism in partnership with the Tourism Ministry.

According to Mitrev, when it comes to sustainable tourism and growth, the partnership between the State and the private sector is key for achieving results.

"Road infrastructure is the circulatory system, and motorways are the arteries. The Cherno More [Black Sea] motorway is very important, but as practice shows so far, we do not seem to be doing very well with such roads. We have just two motorways: Trakia and Maritsa," he said.

In Mitrev’s words, providing access to a tourist product is vital for its success.
