The prices of offers for New Year's Day dropped to 20%

Hotels that have failed to fill the bases for the new year are lost by 10-20% prices of the packages just days before the holiday. This shows the verification of "
Diary"
among the proposals put up for sale through travel agents. Not all deals in the last minute (so called. Last minute) offered a price reduction. Many of them have changed parameters of the packages - reduced number of nights at the same price for the day included extra meals and other services. Some of the hotels at a lower category even offer services such as swimming pool, spa center and other facilities in other complexes in the area.

The most serious reduction of prices for the coming New Year is at the seaside hotels. At some places it exceeds 25-30%, and most of the hotels already offer and offers with 1 overnight and dinner. In November most of the resorts along the Black Sea offered packages with a minimum of 2 nights and 3. According to data from Varna structure of the Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association, however, the tourism sector in the region has taken account of 30% decline in turnover for the Christmas holidays and New Year sales running sluggishly. "
In all probability, Bulgaria is expected to enroll for 30 or 31 December"
, said the association's chairman Dimitar Dimitrov.

With approximately 10-20% have reduced the prices of some hotels in the cities, ski resorts and centers for rural tourism in an attempt to attract unelected Bulgarians place for a holiday, according to figures the tour operators. Vacancies at the moment is largely in hotels in big cities and in complexes that are in the periphery of the big ski and spa resorts. There are exceptions, and offers ski centers in Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo, which already offer packages with 2 nights and dinner. Until a few weeks in winter centers hotels packages sold over 4.5 nights for New Year.

Reduction in the number of nights in the package is different for rural tourism resorts, mostly in northern Bulgaria and SPA resorts of Devon and Hissar. Some of the smaller hotels in these cities are even added to their bids and use of swimming pools and spa centers of larger complexes in the area.

Proposals for overseas also have reduced prices

Tour operators offer meeting in Dubai in 2010 at prices from 400 to 700 euros for the various hotels that about 20% reduction compared with bids several weeks ago. The largest price drop is for Turkey and Tunisia. We can find deals with charter programs to Antalya for the New Year at EUR 360-400 for 4 days.

Lets hope that this price drop helps them out with the much needed Skiers they need, it seems to be a very big problem at the moment but I was reading that its all the Ski resorts all over the world so they are not alone

Yes I think most of the resorts around the world are having problems of one sort or another and even the hot places say that the figures are down, lets hope it picks up next year

It's a shame that this is happening but if memory serves me right the Ski resorts in Bulgaria have had a tuff time for the past few years and I don't see it getting any better but lets hope and it does
