Work on Procurement of the Operation of Sea Beaches Continues

Work on procurement of the operation of sea beaches for the upcoming summer season 2017 continues. Signed were new contracts for concession of four beaches - "Sveti Vlas - Nov plazh", "Obzor-Yug", "Kamping Oasis" and "Dyuni -Yug".

As regards the other concession procedures announced in 2016 but not completed, the competent institutions have ruled so far to the benefit of the Ministry of Tourism.

For the concessions of "Kamping Nestinarka", "Burgas - Sever" and "Pomorie-Central" appeals have been lodged to the Commission for Protection of Competition. It ruled that the appeals were groundless. For "Kamping Nestinarka" a contract is to be concluded.

The competent authorities are expected to rule only on the appeal for the concession of "Sveti Vlas - Iztok".  For the "Slanchev bryag - Sever" beach a decision of the Supreme Administrative Court and the Supreme Court of Cassation is pending.

As regards tenders for lease of beaches, companies for "Kamping Veselie", "Estuary of Veleka River", and "Tsarevo - Vasiliko" have already been selected. All procedures for "Nesebar - Yug" have been completed and it was delivered to the lessee.
