TM Bulgaria interviewed Bansko ski area marketing manager Ivan Obreikov.
Concessionaire of Bansko ski are Ulen invested 13 million euro for winter season 2010/2011. What for the concessionaire spent these funds?
Bansko already has two new ski lifts. Ulen bought 45 new artificial snow machines, thus the total amount if the machines in Bansko reached 230. During the summer 2010 all ski slopes were recultivated.
During winter season 2009/2010 Greek farmers blocked with strikes Bulgarian-Greek border and that harms seriously winter season 2009/2010. Do you expect the same situation during current winter season?
These are obstacles out of our authority. Similar situations are not good for nobody.
In March 2011 Bansko will welcome Men's Alpine Skiing World Cup Bansko.
Yes, we already have a organization committee - Bansko Municipality, Bulgarian Ski Federation and Ulen. We expect the event to promote Bulgaria all over the world.
This is very expensive event. Do you expect restitution of the investments?
We hardly can expect restoration of the investment. But this is a national advertisement, for two days Bulgaria will witness all over the world. Bansko is in the list of World Ski Cup and the resort turns into high quality ski center for Men’s World Ski Cup
What is your advice to skiers, who visit and will visit Bansko?
I appeal the skiers to be more careful and if they choose out of the slopes to know that this is decision on their risk .
