However, the situation has changed and cheaper resorts in Bulgaria and Andorra have gained popularity. There is a significant difference between the prices in French and Bulgarian resorts-a couple of days in Shamoni cost about 2 500 EUR, including tickets, hotel accommodation and ski lift passes, whereas the same pack is approximately 900 EUR in Bulgaria. It is expected that more than 40 000 tourists from Israel will make for a skiing vacation this year.
