The coming summer season in Bulgaria will be the weakest in the past 10-15 years. This is what tour operators expect, as it became clear from a round table on the topic of "Problems and Challenges before Summer 2015", that was held in Varna.

Among the problems that were pointed out are visa issues, the lack of advertising, as well as pick-pocketing.
