Major TV Channels to Air Re-portages on Bulgaria Tourism
The major TV channels National Geographic, Euro-sport and Euro-news is sending TV crews to Bulgaria to shoot re-portages on tourism in the country, the Bulgarian Economy Ministry has announced.
The visit of the international journalists is organized through a project for advertising the tourism industry in the country and is financed by the Operational Program “regional Development.”
The National Geographic crew has already arrived to Bulgaria and is working on re-portages on the culture tourism and is filming the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the National Institute of Archaeology and Museum in Sofia, the Nativity of Christ Church in the village of Arbanasi, the Old Town of Plovdiv, the Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak, and the Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex near the city of Gabrovo.
The four re-portages will be aired on National Geographic throughout 2011.
So far Euro-sport has presented four re-portages on the opportunities Bulgaria provide for golf, horse riding, biking and rock climbing.
In January, another Euro-sport TV crew will arrive to Bulgaria to work on presenting the ski and snowboard opportunities in the country.
Euro-news will film Bulgarian cities for its “Metropolitans” program, the Bulgarian Economy Ministry has announced.
As of September 6, Bulgaria has been advertised as a year-round tourist destination on Euro-news, Euro-sport, National Geographic Channel and Discovery Channel.
However, the international tourism advertising campaign, and especially the choice of the international TV channels to advertise Bulgaria as a tourism destination, has suffered criticism by tour operators.
