Bulgaria to Lure Tourists with Website in Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew

The Bulgarian government plans to attract tourists from all around the world with an enhanced on-line catalogue.

The project, entitled "
Multimedia Catalogue of Tourism Objects and Electronic Marketing in Bulgaria"
, aims at further developing the already existing website bulgariatravel.org into a multilingual informative web resource, including versions in Spanish, French, Arabic, Japanese and Hebrew, as reported by the Bulgarian National Radio.

Until now, the information in bulgariatravel.org was available in Bulgarian, German, English and Russian.

International polls reveal that some 80% of the people who plan a vacation worldwide do a tourist destinations research on the Internet. That is the reason why the Bulgarian Ministry of Tourism puts efforts into further enhancing the website.

The site is going to provide a rich collection of links with diverse information about Bulgaria. As much as 400 text documents, 4000 photos, 50 videos and 50 audio files are going to be included in the future enriched website.

The deadline for the project is December 2011, when bulgariatravel.org will start providing detailed information about the most fascinating destinations in Bulgaria in nine languages.

This could be interesting? I wonder how the Bulgarians will react to this ?

I think it might take a little more that this perhaps they should look closer to home and start with customer service which I think most Bulgarians have never known

They must be having a laugh if they think that by adding a few more languages to their site its going to encourage more to visit Bulgaria, I think they would be better to have trained all the owners in manners and customer service first and then look at this
