Exim Tours: Bulgaria bookings up 117%, Spain up 50% on Persian Gulf War effect

Polish travel agency Exim Tours reports a 117% year-over-year increase in Bulgaria bookings and 50% for Spain during the summer season, attributing the surge to the 'Persian Gulf War effect' diverting travel away from conflict-affected regions. The data suggests a shift in consumer travel preferences toward perceived safer European destinations, with implications for regional tourism and airline/hospitality sectors.
