A new project has been actively discussed lately - charter flights from Istanbul to Krumovo Airport outside Plovdiv to fly gambling fans from Turkey coming to have fun in Plovdiv casinos....

Plovdiv is currently having three large casinos - in the "Trimontium Princess", "Maritsa" and "Bulgaria" hotels, plus dozens smaller gambling facilities. Trimontium Princess Hotel and Casino welcomes the average of 10 - 15 buses of tourists weekly arriving from Turkey just for gambling, According to experts, charter flights will drastically increase the number of tourists to Plovdiv.
