re: What should be changed in Pamporovo

As stated on another thread, a bottle of reasonable Bulgarian vodka or Brandy costs 2 lev, 1 euro or £1. Why then are tourists charged 6-8lev in the resort for a 35ml measure?

If the UK mark up in prices was used it would cost at most 0.5lev. Even with a x10 mark up in price a drink would only cost 1 lev.

The decline has been building for the past 5 years. One of Pamporovo's main attractions was that it was perceived as being cheap ie 2 lev for a drink. This still meant a x20 mark ...

Just to reiterate my point on piste preparation. There's up to 3 ft of snow on some runs at the moment but they are not being prepared. I saw someone on the black red run (not open) up to their waist in snow.

re: What should be changed in Pamporovo

believe me a bottle of 'reasonable' Bg Brandy or Vodka is not 2leva!! --please give me the name of the store as I will be there big time! Meanwhile UK pubs regularly make a 'profit' of 400-600% on standard bottle prices for spirits when you compare pub prices per shot vs bottle price.

re: What should be changed in Pamporovo

Guess it depends on the bottle size as well - I am thinking of the litre bottle

Fluter - be careful - people came already home blind after getting the "best deal" on local Vodka Very Happy
