We are concerned that in the last year tourism in Bulgaria has been developing despite the administration and not with the help of the administration – often due to chaotic decisions the industry is hindered.
This was announced to bTV by Branimir Botev, former Deputy Minister of Tourism and now President of the European League for Economic Cooperation. He gave as an example the fact that measures related to the COVID situation did not appear until May 21, on May 31. It is absurd which tourists or tour operator will be able to plan, the expert commented.
“We lost the Russian market last year, but this year we will continue to suffer negatives. Teztur, one of the largest providers of tourist services, refused transportation in June – these are 183 charters, nearly 42 thousand passengers from Russia.
The German market will operate, but in July and August. The prices that Tui offers will continue to offer and push our hoteliers for extremely low prices, not to say insultingly low. We are currently talking about a package price of bed and breakfast of 15 euros, “said Botev.
According to him, in our country the efforts should be focused as much as possible on domestic tourism and on the neighboring countries.
