In the winter season we will rely entirely on Bulgarian tourists again. This was what chairman of the Bulgarian Association of Restaurants, Richard Alibegov has told BNT.

Tourists from Romania and Israel are also expected to come. Bulgarians have shown that they like our resorts. We saw what happened in the summer. South of Burgas resorts were full until September 15-20. Given the situation abroad, it is unlikely that many foreign tourists will come from there. But it will mainly be the Bulgarian tourist who will save the sector, said Richard Alibegov. According to him, the restaurant industry has received assurance from the Minister of Health that restaurants would not be closed, but control should be tightened and measures against the coronavirus should be checked.
