Petrich municipality has received an award for original promotion of the tourist destination Heraclea Sintica, Katya Stoyanova, head of the "Restoration, conservation and socialization of Heraclea Sintica" project, said this for BTA.

The award was presented at the Cultural Tourism International Exhibition 2024 in Veliko Tarnovo, which is organized for the 19th year in a row.

Over 25,000 tourists have visited the ancient city of Heraclea Sintica in less than 6 months.

"This is very indicative of the work and efforts we put into making the site more attractive," adds Stoyanova. According to her, the built infrastructure, the designated parking lot at the site and the constructed Tourist Center are important and convenient for visitors. According to Engineer Stoyanova, in less than a year people's awareness of Heraclea Sintica has changed.

"While a year ago almost no one had heard of the ancient city, now everyone knows about it and about the statues that have been discovered," she says.
