Bulgaria will be presented as a tourism destination at the 10th International Mediterranean Tourism Exhibition that will take place in Tel Aviv, Bulgarian media reported on Tuesday. Earlier in February it was announced that Bulgaria attracted 21.96 % more tourists in January 2004 compared to the same period last year. A total of 195,544 tourists have chosen Bulgaria as their January-holiday destination. Bulgaria is one of Europe's fastest developing destinations, a report of the Tourism Commission with the European Union has shown recently. The survey revealed that Bulgaria achieved that great success at a time when the world tourism faces hard times as in 2003 it marked a decline of -1.2%.
