Havent the faintest idea, but whoever it was they have not done themselves any favours, borovets IS cheap this year, but it WONT be next year, perhaps they are going to rebuild it, and heat up the food, it is such a shame, i had a really good time..............re: Price increase or wot!!!!!!!!
we have booked into pamporovo Hotel 5*next February,paid £859 halfboard inc.ski liftpass,thought that was quite good considering.re: Price increase or wot!!!!!!!!
me again,that,s for two peopleRose
re: Price increase or wot!!!!!!!!
We too have noticed the increase in prices over the last 3 seasons and that is the main reason we have been skiing this year. We have been looking into other destinations for next year mainly because we don't know anything other than Borovets and so our opinions are rather biased. Simon (Hubby) also feels he'd like to try somewhere different.
The accommodation costs even in France are competitive compared to half term in BG, which is when we have to go as I work at school. The main ...

The accommodation costs even in France are competitive compared to half term in BG, which is when we have to go as I work at school. The main killer for the other European resorts is the lift pass, ski school and equipment hire which are generally 3 times the price of Borovets.
I don't imagine the Bulgaians on the ground see the same increase in their wages as we ss in the price of our holiday. greedy UK tour operators. No wonder parents risk a fine for taking their kids on any holiday during term time!!

You also need to bear in mind the cost of apres ski. Went to Val di Sere once, and it nearly broke the bank!A lot of other Euro resorts will happily charge £4-5 for a beer or coffee!
re: Price increase or wot!!!!!!!!
in pamps last 2 years,great time,cheep beer.just got back from meribel,paid 16 euros for 2 pints!!!
but the skiing was to die for.
bulgaria again next year for beer,meribel for the skiing.
try less famous resorts

and also skied an area called postalm in austria , small ski resort but good deals and great accomadation in a village called wolfgang on the edge of the wolgangse lake. not too much nightlife but very cheap for austria, so cheap skiing is not just bulgaria,Im planning on going to boro again next year then prob stick to europe in future.
its not only the hotels which have seen an increase , some of the bars are now charging rip off prices by bulgarian standards.
4 lev would buy a round for 6 or 7 people anywhere else in bulgaria but in the rila hotel it gets you 1 pint.
