TRAVEL agents took a busman’s holiday to a destination growing in popularity in the North-East.
Balkan Holidays, which operates a weekly flight from Durham Tees Valley Airport, organised a trip for travel agents across the region and parts of Scotland.
It gave them a chance to see the expanding range of hotels and resorts in Bulgaria and the country’s historic attractions.
They include the town of Nessebar, a Unesco world heritage site.
Emma Ormerod, Durham Tees Valley Airport marketing and communications manager, said: “Balkan Holidays has been specialising in holidays to this part of the world for more than 40 years and the real benefit of a trip of this kind is that, when customers go into their travel agent, they can get advice and help from someone who has seen for themselves what Bulgaria has to offer.”
Balkan Holidays fly to Bourgas Airport in Bulgaria every Monday during the summer months.
