Update: Bulgaria

A steady increase of the number of Web sites and improvement of their design and information content is taking place. This trend is especially typical for business companies Web sites, travel agencies, media (electronic media and newspapers) and financial institutions. In most of the observed sectors, the Web penetration is changing slowly, but generally the scope of content, design and information update are improving as well.

During the international celebration of Internet Fiesta 2000 (17–19 March) some interesting events took place: Web design seminar, short introductory courses on Web design, competition for the best Web page, competition for the best school Web site/page, etc. were subjects discussed and promoted.
