The situation is - the poorest and most corrupted country of EU. What would be worst than that? Ok.. probaly poorest and most corrupten in the World! The truth?!.. An who thinks it's worth visiting Srbia? Some Bulgarians who'd like to make some money on taxe-free cigarettes or some Serbs living abroad?

If all Bulgarians were moaning all day long in the way you do. Luckily, most are not like that, they mind their own business and try to live their life.
What's wrong with Serbia as a tourist destination? Do you think there is nothing to see there?

Unluckily, most of them thinks the maffia rocks and their business is just trying to survive.

When the advertising campaign is a successful one, it is no waste of money.
The private market will deal with it but the government must have the responsibility to promote their country abroad. After all, tourism means money, jobs and development.

Yes it is. It's a waste of public money. It would be better if the tourism organizations, not the state, led the campaign. The tourist groups should use their own money to promote tourism not public money.
No it shouldn't. It shoyuld be the market that promotes tourism abroad. If the industry can't exist without assistance from the state then it shouldn't exist at all. And fuck development, Serbia needs development that tourists will not bring.

Radovic, you are the first anti-tourism person I have ever seen:) Come on, don't you like to go somewhere for a holiday and have a nice time? Yes. But I'm against Serbia developing. Serbia has more important needs then developing an industry to satisfy foreigners. I'm against the Serbian state wasting at least 1% of their budget every year on tourism and not on something smart -- like getting rid of our debt. If they want tourism to develop then they should led the private market handle it, not the state.

I havent researched this area but I read somewhere that its the municipal budgets that pay for the majority of tourism marketing, not the republican budget. Its still public money but it makes more sense when they come from the areas that are supposedly to benefit from the tourism and,hence, higher taxes. As for the debt, the Bulgarian public debt is for 2007 at $26 bn(25% of the GDP), down from $48bn in 2004 so this is in fact one of the successes in the recent governments(despite all the usual criticism). Only problem is...few ordinary people realise it and/or care about it.

Only problem is...few ordinary people realise it and/or care about it. I don;t know about Bulgaria but in Serbia something like 80% of all the municipal budget comes from the republican budget. Serbia's republican spending on tourism stands at over 300 million (about 3% of the countries budget) on tourism and our public debt is at a little under 20 billion.
