German tourists have filed complaints about vacations on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and are seeking compensation for not strict enough measures against Covid-19, tour operators announced at the Hotel Forum held in Sofia. Most often tourists complained about the lack of wearing masks or incorrect placement of masks. But in the summer there have been no cases of Covid-19 in the Bulgarian hotels and restaurants on the seaside, the business announced.
Winter bookings are only 10-15% from the volume of last season. But there will be tourists in the winter resorts, says the director of the Institute for Analysis and Evaluation in Tourism Rumen Draganov who predicts growth of domestic tourism. 
In the period December 22 - March 22, 1.9 million domestic trips were reported, and this year they are expected to be 2.25 million, BTA reports.
