Seven Golf Courses to Mushroom Near Bansko

Standard daily, Jan 08, 2008

Seven new golf courses are being built on the territory of Bansko and Razlog resorts. "Our ultimate goal is attracting wealthy lovers of this aristocratic sport from all over Europe. This way we'll be able to profit from tourism around the year," Lyuben Tatarski, Razlog Municipality Mayor, explained. The first golf facility is supposed to be operational this spring.

It also transpired that the joint venture Razlog Municipality and the local construction company Balkanstroy set up, is about to invest 240 million levs (1 euro = 1.95 levs) in a state of the art skiing center and a golf complex, which will spread over 600 hectares in the Betolovoto area. The skiing center will comprise 20 modern skiing facilities, a 19,4-kilometre-long ski lift, and the common length of the ski-runs will be 58,5 km. The golf course will have eighteen holes and will vie with some of the world's best. The joint venture will also build up new hotels to shelter some 3,000 tourists.
