This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria is a national movement established in 1966 to promote tourism among Bulgaria's best cultural, historic, and and natural landmarks.
Resources needed
The resources need for the best practice: funds for promotion, maps and booklet for collection of stamps, badges. The tourist sites, involved in the initiative pays an annual fee to the Bulgarian Tourism Union - BGN 100 (one hundred) for the maintenance and development of the Movement.
Evidence of success
Unfortunately, there is no statistic of how many people reached all the sites, but in recent years interest in it has increased significantly.
The Bulgarian Tourist Union (BTU) has a database for the people, who receive every year bronze, silver and gold badges. According to this the number of the tourists increase every year. For example for 2018 the tourist received golden badges are 306, silver - 50 and bronze 1320.

Potential for learning or transfer
There are similar tourist sites in every country. Our example is a precondition for creating such movements in other European countries and beyond. A few years ago, the Ministry of Tourism had the idea to create a European Route of such sites and 100 Bulgarian National Sites to be part of this route. Such a route implies the extreme development of all types of tourism on the one hand, and on the other, the increase of the economic welfare of each country thanks to the sites visited.
