The Region of Varna is situated in the north-east part of Bulgaria. It includes the eastern part of the Danube Plain- Dobrudja, known as the granary of Bulgaria, the Loudogorie, and to the east its territory borders on the vast beaches of the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
Tourism - a traditional branch of the regional economy - is historically linked with the development of north-eastern Bulgaria. Some of Bulgaria’s most prestigious tourist complexes have been built along the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast - Albena, Zlatni Piassaci and Saints Constantine.

Nine institutions of higher education are located in this region, four of which are in the town of Varna. It is a major economic, cultural and administrative centre and one of the Bulgarian towns with the most dynamic development.
One of the main characteristic features of the region is the high degree of concentration and specialization of production. Industry is an important branch, mainly shipbuilding and engine manufacture, while automobile production is concentrated by the town of Shoumen and Veliki Preslav.
