Hoteliers block the access to the Sunny Beach resort complex

“At 11 am today we will block the road to the Sunny Beach resort complex and the town of Nessebar,” announced Elena Ivanova, President of the Association of Owners in Sunny Beach, for Klassa. The protest is planned to continue until June 11. A few days before the official start of the summer tourist season in the resort, hotel owners and state officials are again at odds over the management of the resort complex. The infrastructural problems have been ignored for more than 10 years, which explains our refusal to pay fees to the state-owned company of Sunny Beach JSC in charge of maintaining the infrastructure facilities. We pay a tourist tax to the municipality of Nessebar,” said Ivanova. The streets are a public municipal property and the municipality should get them back and start maintaining them at last. We are against the attitude of the municipality of Nessebar which only collects the revenues from the tourism tax without investing in the complex.

According to Sunny Beach JSC, only part of the hoteliers are against the introduction of an order in the complex, while the protests are aimed at creating disorder and can ruin the tourist season. Two weeks ago, as Klassa wrote, the company announced a new scheme for the placement of temporary facilities and the introduction and collection of rent for them. Access restrictions for taxi vehicles, providers of food and drink in the complex have been introduced.

“This year, we expect the highest growth in tourists, compared to the last years,” announced in Plovdiv Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism (MIEET) Traicho Traikov. He predicted a 10% increase in the number of foreign travellers and a 30% growth in the tourists from Russia. The advertising campaign aimed at promoting our country as an attractive tourist destination, which was funded under Operational Programme Regional Development, contributed substantially for this growth.
