WEATHER COULD SPOIL WINTER TOURISM SEASON IN BULGARIA
09:11 Wed 06 Dec 2006

Unusually warm weather in Bulgaria was spoiling the plans of tourism companies for the winter season, Dnevnik daily said.

Winter season 2006/2007 has to open in the middle of December, but none of the tracks in Bulgaria are suitable for skiing yet.

Weathermen predict unchanged or even higher temperatures next week. The winter could be the hottest for the past 47 years in the whole of Europe.

Tour operators were considering alternative plans to entertain tourists until snow became sufficient for winter sports, Dnevnik said.

Pamporovo, one of the three Bulgarian major ski resorts, already postponed the season opening by a week.

A representative of TUI tour operator said that hotel owners and tourism agencies could lose a lot if the winter season failed. Bulgaria’s image as an attractive winter tourism destination would also be harmed, Dnevnik said.

NOW EVEN I AM GETTING CONCERNED Sad

As you are the only one I listen to as regards weather Pete I am now worried even though I dont go until 13 January, also feel sorry for the ski instructors as you know this is the only way they have of making a few pounds in the winter.

Well we had better get used to it and make sure we make the most of whats left of the winter season. With Global warming there soon won't be much of a season. Look what has happened to Scotlands skiing, a couple of good days a season.

No full refunds i'm afraid! Unless you have a fantastic insurance policy that will refund your holiday in full due to no snow.

re: Alarming News In Sofia Echo Today

my stand by plan is to go to Velingrad where my friends are staying and just get drunk every day and have lots of beauty treatments in the Hotel Rich... so all is not lost if no snow....
