In [[Bulgaria]], the different types of ''sela'' vary from a small selo of 5 to 30 families to one of several thousand people. According to a 2002 census, in that year there were 2,385,000 Bulgarian citizens living in settlements classified as ''villages''.<ref name="Bulgaria">{{cite web|url=https://www.un.org/esa/agenda21/natlinfo/countr/bulgaria/Bulgariahumansettlement2003.PDF|title=Human Settlement Country Profile, Bulgaria (''2004'')|publisher=[[United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs]] |access-date=30 November 2008}}</ref> A 2004 Human Settlement Profile on Bulgaria<ref>[https://www.un.org/esa/agenda21/natlinfo/countr/bulgaria/Bulgariahumansettlement2003.PDF HUMAN SETTLEMENT COUNTRY PROFILE: BULGARIA].

In Bulgaria, it is popular to visit villages for the atmosphere, culture, crafts, hospitality of the people and the surrounding nature. This is called ''selski turizam'' ({{langx|bg|селски туризъм}}), meaning "village tourism".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Detelina |first1=Tocheva |title=Explorations in Self-Sufficiency After Socialism |date=June 2015 |publisher=Berghahn Books |location=New York and Oxford |isbn=9781782386964 |page=144 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZNGdBAAAQBAJ |access-date=10 August 2021}}</ref>
