Why it matters
Scoring rationale
Visit Sofia is the official municipal tourism organisation and is active in international workshops, trade exhibitions and the newly launched Meetings Sofia MICE unit. It can support destination development and supplier/MICE introductions, but it is institutional rather than inventory.
Opportunity for Shahraah (provisional)
Destination-development and MICE relationship for Bulgaria product and qualified local introductions.
Risks and blockers
Main blocker
Ask for overseas trade/MICE contact, local DMC/hotel introductions, fam trips, group/MICE RFP support, Muslim-friendly resources and participation in international trade workshops relevant to Pakistan.
