Maria Bakalova as Ambassador of Bulgarian Tourism

World-renowned Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova, nominated for the prestigious Academy Awards, is joining a major initiative by the Ministry of Tourism to promote Bulgaria to international audiences.

"We have a beautiful and welcoming country, and we must show it to as many people as possible. That is why I always speak about Bulgaria with pride," shares the actress.

Bulgaria as a Film Destination

At a meeting with the Minister of Tourism, Dr. Ilin Dimitrov, Bakalova emphasized that she is actively working to attract foreign film productions to our country. She often suggests Bulgarian crews and locations in the projects she participates in, thereby directly supporting the Bulgarian economy and cultural image.

Favorite Places and Cultural Symbols

The actress expressed her admiration for Bulgarian roses and the tradition of rose harvesting, which she plans to include in her upcoming projects. She was presented with a golden rose statuette as a symbol of our country.

  • MOT Initiative: Promoting Bulgaria through celebrities.
  • Participants: DARA, Carlos Nasar, Stoyan Koprivlenski, and others have already joined the project.
  • Goal: Digital advertising campaign in international media.

This strategy of a "personal message" from successful Bulgarians aims to showcase the authentic face of our country to the widest possible range of international audiences.
