Nearly 48,000 people visited the SCI CC "The Palace", Balchik and the University Botanical Garden in August, announced Director Galina Mitkova on bTV’s morning show.
Since the start of the tourist season, the two sites have welcomed around 170,000-180,000 visitors.
According to her, the season started slower and by the end of July attendance was below 2025 levels.
A significant share of guests are foreign tourists. The top countries include Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, France and Austria. In 2025 the ratio was approximately 60% foreign to 40% Bulgarian visitors.
The possibility of introducing a single ticket for The Palace and the Botanical Garden was also discussed. Galina Mitkova stated that the Ministry of Culture and Sofia University are already working on it. An agreement has been signed and the details of the access system are forthcoming.
