The Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association has called for clear measures and rules regarding the closure of hotels, food and beverage establishments, or the restriction of their activities due to the coronavirus epidemic.

In their position they say investors and the people working in tourism must not be “surprised at the last moment” by decisions which result in financial losses for them.
