Bulgaria will organize trips for Israeli journalists as part of its tourism advertisement campaign in the country, it was made clear during a Bulgarian official's visit to Israel.

Bulgarian Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism Delyan Dobrev is currently on a two-day visit to Israel in an attempt to soften the blow on the country's tourism and lessen the decline of Israeli visits in the aftermath of the terror attack at the airport of the resort city of Burgas, which killed five Israelis and the Bulgarian bus driver.

On Tuesday, Dobrev met with Israeli Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov. Dobrev told his counterpart that Bulgaria has imposed stricter security measures in its resorts.

Misezhnikov said he believed that Bulgaria will remained a popular tourist destination for Israeli tourists even after the July 18 terror attack.
