Sunny Beach

Four years after the attack at Sarafovo airport in the Black Sea city of Burgas, the trial for the death of five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver has again been adjourned by the Specialized Criminal Court.

The reason cited are procedural irregularities in the summoning of witnesses, including people who were left wounded in the attack.

The taxes on rent, parking, the use of alleys and other services determined by Sunny Beach AD are null and void, announced the Prosecutor's Office and demanded that these be abolished.

Bulgaria is moving strongly in the direction of becoming an all-inclusive destination, stated Tourism Minister Nikolina Angelkova to Darik radio.

Nearly a hundred miners staged on Wednesday a blockade of the road linking Burgas and the resort town of Slanchev Bryag (Sunny Beach) by the Black Sea.

A trade union official representing workers at the mine earlier told the Bulgarian National Radio the average value of salaries and layoff compensations owed to each of them was to the tune of BGN 2000 (around EUR 1023).

There has been double increase in the number of tourists visiting Bulgaria before the official start of the summer season.

Formally, the summer season on Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast begins on June 1, but most hotels have opened to visitors in April. The lower prices are expected to remain until the middle of next month.

Workers at closed Cherno More mine, in the region of Burgas, blocked on Tuesday morning the road between Burgas and the resort of Slanchev Bryag (Sunny Beach) to protest against the delay in payment of wages and compensations.

Work at the mine ended earlier in April, leaving its workforce of nearly 300 people without jobs and with unpaid salaries for March.

Bulgaria's Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach remains the best value-for-money holiday destination for British tourists in 2016 for the third straight year, a new survey has shown.

"Cheap local prices in the 10 best value resorts in Europe have cushioned the impact of sterling's slide," the 10th annual UK Post Office Travel Money Holiday Costs Barometer has found.

The Bulgarian Black Sea resorts of Sunny Beach and Golden Sands rank among the ten cheapest destinations for Russian tourists this year.

This was announced by travel.ru based on a ranking conducted by online hotel booking platform oktogo.ru.

The ranking is based on hotel offers available during the period between February 1 and December 31.

Algarve in Portugal is the cheapest place for British tourists willing to travel without leaving Europe, followed by Bulgaria's Black Sea resort of Sunny Beach, a new report suggests.

Bulgaria is followed by Cape Town in South Africa, which is the best bargain for those opting for a long-haul trip.

It will be up to 30% cheaper to spend a holiday at the southern Black Sea coastline from August 20 until the end of a month, and there will be another 20% decrease in September, hoteliers say.
