“…In the first summer season during the pandemic, a significant increase in the share of domestic tourism is shown in all national Black Sea resorts.

That proves the potential of domestic tourism as an alternative for revitalising the tourism industry (Chan, 2021).…”

“…Study results by Collins et al (2021) show that the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically affects an individual's behaviour in travelling in the future and also affects what precautions must be taken. Security, health, and safety should be a priority for individuals to achieve their condition while travelling (Kurniawan et al, 2021;Varadzhakova et al, 2021). The COVID-19 pandemic makes individuals less likely to travel in groups and avoid crowded places (Orîndaru et al, 2021).…”

Tourism is a very important sector for the Bulgarian economy with its GDP share varying between 10 and 13% before the COVID-19 health crisis. In 2021 domestic tourism accounted for 89% of the personal travel expenditures of Bulgarians. The purpose of the present paper is to analyse public attitudes towards the domestic leisure tourism in Bulgaria and its spatial distribution at the NUTS-2 regions and the residence place type level. The data used in the research are from a national representative survey based on a two-staged random sample stratified by the Bulgarian districts and the residence place type (capital, district administrative centre, town and village). The methodology includes: literature review, descriptive analysis, spatial analysis, average values, building one- and two- dimensional frequency distributions, statistical hypothesis testing, etc. The indicators used in the paper are: practices for domestic leisure tourism, stay duration in domestic resorts, frequency of domestic leisure tourism, people not practicing domestic leisure tourism, domestic leisure tourism average satisfaction level. The obtained results show the differences between those indicators in NUTS-2 and residence place type level, as well as between summer and winter leisure tourism. The presented results are of particular importance, since some of these differences are significantly large.
