In order to preserve employment in tourism, Bulgaria National Board of Tourism and the Bulgarian Tourist Chamber hope that the Bulgarian authorities would reconsider the introduction of a mandatory PCR test for EU and third-country tourists. Otherwise, the hotels are doomed to bankruptcy, reads a common position of the two organizations, sent to Bulgaria’s Minister of Tourism and this country’s Minister of Health, BTA reported.
