As in 2024, this season's vacancies in the tourism industry will be filled by workers from third countries. According to employers from the Northern Black Seacoast, entire Turkish teams are employed in the kitchens of Albena resort. 

Workers from Indonesia and Bangladesh are also expected. Their salaries are lower than those of Bulgarian workers, but hoteliers' costs are very high. Workers from Uzbekistan, Moldova, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are in demand. People are mainly sought for lower-skilled positions, which, however, are no less important for ensuring good service along the Black Sea coast during the summer season.
