What other sectors of the Bulgarian economy have proven attractive for Dutch investors?
There are more sectors. One of the big sectors at the moment is alternative or green energy. We have a lot of knowledge in Holland, and a lot of technology is being exported to Bulgaria. Also, again in SMEs because a lot of these consultancies are also smaller companies. Then there is carbon trading, there are a few companies operating in the field now, and those are smaller companies but they deal with big amounts of money so the carbon trading is becoming a very serious industry. And there is an expansion of Dutch tourism. We are seeing more Dutch tourists in Bulgaria than ever before. And the Dutch seem to like Sofia for city tourism. Many Dutch people that I meet here as tourists or business visitors who enjoy the city for what Sofia has to offer. Which is – especially in the summer – nice terraces, cheap beer, relatively good food, nice looking women, the whole package. It is just right for weekend tourism. The growth of weekend tourism in Bulgaria from Holland is amazing. Especia
