The mayor of Bansko, Alexander Kravarov, held a press conference at the hotel touting a succesful winter holiday season and looking forward to the continued expansion of the resort as a year-round holiday destination.
The town has plans to expand the area’s sporting facilities to include tennis courts and football grounds so that more travelers will visit year round. The town also has other attractions, including the Nikola Vaptsarov Museum, the Neofit Rilksa house and the Sveta Troitsa church. The old town is full of charm and has buildings that date from as far back as the 10th century, making it a nice place to visit any time of the year.
