In an interview with BNT, Bulgarian Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova said that the Tourism sector was not working at the moment. According to data from the Employment Agency, 23.7% out of over 70,000 newly-registered unemployed come from the hotel and restaurant sectors. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, 203 tour operators and travel agents were left without work. The so-called Measure 60:40, taken by the authorities in order to support business and preserve employment, has been used by nearly 48.7% of companies in the hotel and restaurant business, indicating that the measure does not satisfy everyone in the tourism industry, the Minister added.
