In none of those "world-famous" places do you find the beauty of the Bulgarian scenic nature, the golden-sand beaches, the nice climate, or the beautifully-forested mountains behind those beaches. The beauty of Bulgaria's millenia-old mountains is breathtaking. Bulgaria boasts Eastern Europe's most fashionable resorts, says an article in the January 14 issue of Newsweek magazine. Danish tour operator Penguin Travel said bookings for Bulgaria's ski resorts were up by 30% this winter. Now, you just have to come and see what everyone is talking about! Bulgaria is a very attractive tourist destination because of the miraculous workings of nature and the numerous natural phenomena scattered across the country. It is a small piece of paradise blending in itself the remarkable beauty of the azure, the warm turquoise sea and the majestic, snow-topped mountains. Several major projects being carried out at the moment promise to offer highest quality upon completion, and other new developments focus on golf and luxury property.

Modern hotels mix with rickety farmhouses and empty-shelved grocery shops snuggle against well-stocked mehanas, the local taverns." So, don't be negative to Bulgaria! Last year, some ten million Americans spent their vacation some place in Europe. This year, Bulgaria has the chance to attract some of those US holiday-makers. Take a hiking trip through a quaint Rhodope or Strandja mountain village. Bulgarians have just had the bad luck to have 500 years under harsh Ottoman rule; more difficult than it is possible for westerners to imagine. They were freed from the Turkish yoke with the help of Russian Czar Alexander's strong army. Then, as a unified, independent nation, Bulgaria again was a part of the civilized Europe to which it truly belonged. After restoration of the national state in 1878, Bulgaria became a constitutional monarchy with a democratic governmental system and a rapidly growing economy. S. President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Churchill and Generalissimo Stalin (the Yalta agreement) giving Bulgaria and neighboring countries in trust to Joseph Stalin. Churchill branded the Bulgarians ungrateful and in 1944 he gave Bulgaria away to Stalin as a punishment - to build up socialism. Bush admitted " The agreement in Yalta followed in the unjust tradition of Munich and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Once again, when powerful governments negotiated, the freedom of small nations was somehow expendable.
