The XVIII-th edition of the International Tourist Fair ``Cultural Tourism`` expands its scope and this year provides special opportunities for producers of traditional regional food and beverages to participate, as an opportunity for direct meetings between representatives of the tourism industry and producers of quality food products.

We invite you to take part in the specialized section of the ITF ``Cultural Tourism`` - ``Trapezitsa - stories about the Bulgarian taste``.

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for a modern presentation of many small and medium-sized enterprises from the country, which with their activities preserve different local traditions and activities.

The exhibition is a chance for farms and small producers of food based on unique family recipes to discover new clients and admirers.

On the days of the exhibition, each of the participants has the opportunity to organize a tasting of the offered products in a specially equipped tasting area or to make an original promotion for the visitors.
