Speculations about naval mines floating in the Black Sea have further hampered the summer tourist season, chairman of Parliamentary Committee on Tourism Ilin Dimitrov told Radio Varna.

Regular tourists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus will not come if the war continues. The only tourists we can count on are those arriving by car from neighbouring countries, because fuel prices will make charter flights more expensive, Dimitrov said.
