The resort won't be in dust and dirt. Local people already used to the idea they should work harder for one more friendly image of the resort, shared Aleksander Kravarov, mayor of the city for second mandate.
He promised there won't be any problems and also reminded that the resort expects 1 million tourists for season '07-'08"
1 million visitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!dont fancy those queues then, thats 60000 per week, do the maths, take your portable chairs!!
I didn't do much skiing in the town, but I found the slopes pretty tidy.
This year the only places that looked untidy to me were around the building sites but you get that everywhere. Bansko has got a rustic charm that some people might mistake for looking dirty, but its the typical Bulgarian buildings.
