New Ski Complex To Be Constructed In Bulgaria

InvestBulgaria Agency approved a project for the construction of a ski complex in the Pirin Mountain town of Dobrinishte.

Dobrinishte Ski received a first-class investor certificate on October 26. Once a company receives such certificate, it is entitled to state aid for the construction of some infrastructure needed for the project, mediapool.bg reported.

The skiing area would be located in the area between Bezbog Peak and Dobrinishte. It is also located close to Bansko winter resort.

In the coming three years the company would invest nearly 260 million leva in the project, mediapool.bg reported.

Apart from ski infrastructure, the project envisions the construction of hotels with capacity to accommodate 10 000 tourists. Spa opportunities in the region would make the resort an attractive destination year-round, analysts said.

This project will open 1500 new work places and nearly 1000 people would be needed for the proper functioning of the ski facilities, mediapool.bg reported.
