Big plans for Borovets ski resort


Warning: end() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/conceptb/public_html/bulgarianpropertynews/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 308

Several investment projects have been announced for the Samokov/Borovets ski region. The project known as Super Borovets, Mr. Hristo Kovachi and also the TIM group are all planning projects in the area. When compared to Bansko which has had some serious development over the last 2-3 years, Samokov and Borovets are calm, relaxed and seriously underdeveloped. In Bansko you is bombarded by daily announcements of new projects, new spas, new golf courses and complexs that begin to stretch the imagination. The Bansko area is littered with building materials and half constructed complexes. In Borovets it is pretty much mountains and forest with the odd hotel or development dotted around the place.

While still underdeveloped, this is positive for the Borovets area as it remains natural and unspoilt compared to the disastrous overdevelopment that has occurred in Bansko.

Still several new projects are planned for the Boroevts area. Super Borovets kicked off this month. The major shareholders in Super Borovets are the Equest Investment Fund and the Samokov municipality. The local council expect that the  project will transform the area into one of the top alpine resorts in Europe.

Hristo Kovachki is also planning several developments in the area and is expected to link with the TIM group of companies to develop a rival ski resort to the Super Borovets developers.

A major investment is expected in the area by Mr Kovacki as over the next 3 years. He plans to construct a luxury hotel, news ski pistes and a sport and leisure centre in the area.
