The chart, featuring the number of registrations of Bulgarian and foreign tourists in the country, also shows that over 678,000 foreign tourists chose Bulgaria to spend their holidays in July, as well as over 643,000 Bulgarians.

The Ministry of Tourism is beginning to publish interactive information charts presenting data about the development of tourism in Bulgaria. The charts are based on data collected from the Standard Tourist Information System (STIS) and the National Statistical Institute.

Four charts have been published to date, thematically oriented towards summer season 2022. The publication of the data in digital format is one of the final stages in the process of statistical data digitalization.
