The one-time aid of BGN 210 for the use of basic services for domestic tourism in the sites and accommodation for first-line workers will be in support of the entire sector until November 30, 2021, the Bulgarian Ministry of Tourism reports. During the state of emergency, it was possible to reduce the due concession fees by 50%, provided that the concessionaire lowers the final prices for consumers when using beach accessories, said Tourism Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Mariana Nikolova at a meeting in Sunny Beach with concessionaires. 

According to her, the owners of 56 sea beaches have applied for a reduction in fees during the summer season. The hotline of the Ministry has received numerous signals from users - for incorrect marking of beach services, for unclear areas for paid beach accessories, for problems with umbrellas and sunbeds in the paid areas.
