"For me personally this year the season will be better than last year. Last year there was no one in Sunny Beach at this time. People were terribly scared because of the coronavirus pandemic. You know there were red zones everywhere. This year will certainly not be the normal season that It should be, but in general for me personally the season will be better than last year. The beach accessories have been placed, the beaches have been cleaned, treated to prevent parasites, lifeguards are already on duty, there is a flag signaling, " explained the beach concessionaire Kiril Spasov.

As of today, the Ministry of Tourism starts inspections of the strips, where the concessionaires have stated that they will reduce the prices. The inspections are necessary because if the concessionaire reduces the price, a part of the concession fee will be reduced accordingly.
