The international conference is being implemented under the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR), Priority Area 3 “Culture and Tourism”, coordinated jointly by Bulgaria and Romania.
In the minister’s words, digitalisation could find excellent expression in the countries of the Danube region and the Balkans. Dimitrov pointed out among the priority tasks in the field of innovations in tourism, which will make Bulgaria a year-round attractive tourist destination, the development of a single digital guidebook to welcome every tourist visiting Bulgaria.
In his address to the forum, President Rumen Radev expressed his firm belief that the digital transformation in all sectors should be accelerated, while strengthening the sustainability of Bulgaria’s economy.
In his words, this country should take advantage of digitalisation to improve its operational efficiency and competitiveness. Digital technologies will contribute to making Bulgaria a competitive destination, he said.
