The Bulgarian is the best customer on his native Black Sea coast, say sellers from Primorsko. In the last week, the seaside town has already started to fill up with tourists, mainly Bulgarians, Czechs and Poles. Compared to last year, however, people spent much less, the sellers said. For now, some are happy with the turnover, while others report a drop of 40 to 60% compared to last year.

Hotels along the Southern Black Sea coast expect good occupancy in September. Reservations are prepaid, and the industry is hoping for good weather. The holiday is about 20% cheaper than peak season prices.

In addition to the prices of basic food products and household bills, the prices of real estate in Bulgaria are also going up.

According to a study by Nova TV in Burgas, the wave of refugees from Ukraine is affecting the real estate market - Russians are selling and Ukrainians are buying or renting housing.

10 mobile teams of the Ministry of Interior began to register Ukrainian citizens for temporary protection. The first registrations started today in two of the hotels in Sunny Beach and Sveti Vlas, where most Ukrainians fleeing the war are accommodated, BGNES reported.

What is the key to success in tourism during a coronavirus pandemic? Many hoteliers failed to find the answer to this question against the backdrop of a constantly changing epidemiological situation. Others, however, thanks to their ingenuity and good management skills, managed to maintain a high level of service and operate at full capacity with regular customers.

Four cases of drowned men have been registered by police officers in Burgas from 10 to 12 August.

A bus with 40 children from Russia crashes on the road between Kiten and Primorsko, police said in Burgas. The accident was between the bus and a car. There are no injured children who are in Bulgaria for a summer camp.
