The underrated European country set to ‘outshine’ Majorca that’s 2,346 miles away | Travel News | Travel

For years, Majorca has been a top destination for UK holidaymakers.

However, TUI CEO Sebastien Ebel has highlighted to the Balearic tourism ministry that travelling to islands has become less suitable for families, and as a result, there are certain destinations that are set to become a “serious alternative” this year.

Over 2,300 miles away, Bulgaria is expected to be a contender for destinations that will outshine Majorca this summer, boasting low prices and a number of beaches.

Tourists can make the most out of its low prices, from a pint of beer which costs £1.50, and a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant costing £30, according to Travel and Tour World.

The country’s Black Sea coast is one of its main attractions, featuring various gorgeous golden sand beaches, with crystal-clear waters and of course budget-friendly prices.

Areas like Bourgas, labelled the “gateaway to the Black Sea”, are attracting travellers thanks to their wide beaches and family-friendly environment.

Bulgaria offers a number of experiences to enjoy while on holiday. Further up the coast, Sunny Beach is the perfect place to take part in water sports activities and a great choice for an affordable family holiday.

Whilst further inland, spots like the Rila National Park provide tourists with a more relaxing getaway, where you can explore forests and be at one with nature.

The cultural and historical heritage Bulgaria holds is incredible, as it is also home to 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, inscribed between 1979 and 2017 and a ritual fire-dance named Nestinarstvo. The dance, which is called Nestinarstv,o is also included in the list of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, reports Majorca Daily Bulletin
