Price increases in the lodging property sector worldwide slowed down in the first quarter of 2008 to reach 6.1 per cent on an annual basis. But Bulgaria still heads the price hike, according to the Global House Price Index of UK’s real estate company Knight Frank.

The price increase registered in Bulgaria was 31.5 per cent for the first quarter of 2008, investor.bg said. Bulgaria also occupied first place in the same ranking for the last quarter of 2007 with a 33.7 per cent price increase.

You know what - we have invested and have always said that this is a "long term investment". We are not going to get down hearted - why should we? The Bulgarians will work it out eventually - if they don't get their act together people will not come. Forget "If you build it they will come". I agree there is a lot to do in Bansko to make people want to come back again and again, but if all you want is cheap food (and it is possible to find cheap food and drink) and skiiing then Bansko is ...
