Bulgaria takes 54th place in the global best tourism destinations classification, made by World Economic Forum.

The list, which includes 124 countries, is headed by Switzerland, followed by Austria, Germany and Iceland.

Bulgaria's ranking is due to its natural and cultural recourses, a representative of the forum explained.

Bulgaria steps back to 103rd place as far as its environmental conditions are concerned.

In the classification, based on road infrastructure construction, Bulgaria occupies the 70th position. That is a serious obstacle to tourism development, World Economic Forum indicates.
