For the second year, so-called "cherry" tourism is being organized in the region of Kyustendil, known for its delicious cherries, BNR correspondent Kiril Falin has reported. Groups, families, even entire classes of students from all over the country come to the area. They go into the gardens and pick straight from the trees. At the end, they pay for what they pick at 1 EUR per kilogram and take it home, while on the market, cherries are currently sold at prices of up to 3-4 EUR per kilogram. Among the "cherry" tourists this year is a group of Japanese from Osaka who visited the village of Piperkov Chilflik.
Among the problems that the farmers face are the lack of workers to pick the harvest and to guard the cherry groves. After the elections, farmers will be assisted by gendarmerie and police officers.
