Nessebar ranks third in the list of most popular tourist destination for Americans this summer, according to a research carried out by VirtualTourist.com, the biggest website for research in the area of tourism in the world.

The first place is occupied by Gdansk in Poland followed by Kananaskis in the Canadian province Alberta. After Nessebar come San Ignaasio in Belize, the capital of Madagascar Antananarivo, Paramaribo in Surinam, Sinin in China, Brum in Australia, Hartz mountains in Germany and Tofo Beach in Mozambique.

VirtualTourist.com offers information published by users and each month the site attracts more than 5 mln tourists searching for a place to spend their holiday or telling stories about places they have visited, contributing pictures and useful information and advice based on their own experience.

„Everyone wishes to hear about an interesting place before it becomes too crowded“ says the website's general manager Jampiero Ambrosi.

„That's why we prepared this list with the help of our users. Destinations like Croatia and Costa Rica which have already become too crowded are not that attractive for tourists any more, while countries like Bulgaria and Surinam are coming up with such exceptional offers that they are quickly turning into the most popular places for holiday-makers,“ Ambrosi also added.
