Intense preparations are underway on the Southern Black Sea coast for the upcoming summer season. The first tourists are expected for Easter, and businesses are actively seeking thousands of workers, reports public service broadcaster BNT.

The most sought-after workers are cleaners, waiters and bartenders, with salaries ranging from 1,400 to 2,500 BGN (EUR 715 - EUR 1,278).
