Pauline Frommer, daughter of the renowned US travel writer and publisher Arthur Frommer, has ranked Bulgaria among the top 10 budget destinations for summer vacations in 2008.
Bulgaria is the only European location to be listed as a top budget destination for this year.
Frommer points out that “the strength of the euro has made much of Europe a budget-buster for American travelers, but it's also an opportunity to explore less heavily touristed areas of the continent -- such as Bulgaria.”
The guide warns travelers not to expect much of a tourism infrastructure in Bulgaria, but gives high marks the safety and the “ancient monasteries and beautifully preserved medieval villages along with affordable spas and Black Sea beach resorts.”
According to Frommer, what makes Bulgaria a preferred budget destination are accommodation prices in the range of $50 to $100 for budget Bed & Breakfast hotels and guesthouses and full Mediterranean meals for just $6 or $7.
In addition to Bulgaria, Frommer's 2008 top selections include destinations in the US, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Newfoundland and the Mayan Coast in Mexico.
The writer’s father, Arthur Frommer has a bog the Frommers.com website where travelers can read his impressions of Bulgaria: “in Bulgaria you can wander the cobblestone streets of Plovdiv, sip plum brandy at a Black Sea resort, or pay just $15 to stay at the famous Rila Monastery, a grandiose medieval construction packed with painted icons amidst green mountains” and “Europe's budget champion, with its Black Sea beaches and well-preserved medieval villages”
Frommer's is one of the best selling travel guides in America. Frommer’s travel guidebook series began in 1957 with the publication of Arthur Frommer’s book, Europe on $5 a Day. The book was the first travel guide to show Americans that they could afford to travel in Europe. Frommer's has expanded to include over 350 guidebooks across 14 series, as well as other media including the award winning Frommers.com website which covers over 3,500 destinations.
