Balgarianovinite.com Caretaker Minister of Tourism Irena Georgieva said that the Giro d’Italia is not only a sporting event but the beginning of a story through which Bulgaria will present its best qualities to the world. Speaking here on Wednesday ahead of the official team presentation, she said the race embodies enthusiasm, passion and emotion – qualities closely linked to tourism itself, and stressed that the event offers Bulgaria an opportunity to showcase its Black Sea coast, mountains, history and ancient culture to an international audience.
Georgieva expressed hope that global and domestic viewers will be encouraged to visit Bulgaria after the race, noting that similar events typically generate a long-term tourism effect of 6 to 24 months, with a significant share of visitors returning. She thanked local communities, volunteers, municipalities, partners, state institutions and the media for their contribution to the organisation of the event.
