Half of the New Year’s packages of Bulgaria's winter resorts had already been booked, Bulgarian Tourist Chamber said.

Most popular were the four or five-day packages around Christmas and the New Year, the chamber told investor.bg.

Work on the long planned Super Borovets resort, close to Bulgaria’s capital Sofia, has been officially launched by the country’s Prime Minister, Serghei Stanishev, along with the former prime minister and opposition leader, at a ceremony this past week.
