The Future for Tourism Union has asked Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism Mariana Nikolova to extend the deadline for refunding customers for already prepaid services. Before the protest scheduled for July 28, at a meeting with Nikolova, representatives of the tourist sector insisted on a grant scheme amounting to 10% of last year's turnover in order to keep their businesses, the BNR reports.

Now that we have 500,000 Bulgarians who do not go to Greece and Turkey, it is a question of skills to attract them, Rumen Draganov from the Institute for Analysis and Evaluation in Tourism commented for bTV.

On weekends there are about 190,000 trips to the Black Sea coast. The trend for shorter trips started last year and according to Draganov it will continue in the next seasons.
