A total of 82 percent of Bulgarians did not plan trips to western Europe and Turkey because of the terror attacks and attempted coup, according to a public opinion published Thursday.
The survey, carried out by Gallup International, found that about 6 percent of the respondents did not change their travel plans due to what happened.
Another 6 percent said the incidents made them change their travel plans over the past months.
By extrapolating this data to the general Bulgarian population, this means that approximately 300,000 Bulgarians reconsidered their plans to travel to countries in western Europe or Turkey.
About 40 percent of the people in the survey said they plan to go or went on holiday to the Bulgarian seaside. Endit
