Great Expectations for Super Borovets
The project will see the construction of 19 new ski runs that will add 42km to the current length of winter resort Borovets's existing ski runs (84km altogether) and 10 new ski lifts, two of them gondolas. Together, the lifts will have the capacity to convey 37 000 tourists.
Super Borovets' gross actual area will be 600 000 sq m, and the resort will primarily year-round Bulgarian holiday-makers. The project will create 2000 permanent jobs.
Backers of the Borovets expansion project say that the hotels, apartment buildings, and villas will be low-rise, and the whole complex will have a low density of construction, 20 per cent. The new hotels to be added will have a built-up area of 100 000 sq m. And the total area of the planned vacation homes is about 400 000 sq m, or no more than 4000 units. Plans include the building of two golf courses. |
