The tourist winter season will most likely be missed, just as the summer season was missed due to the Covid-19 situation. This was stated by Bulgaria's state health inspector Angel Kunchev during an annual conference organized by Travel Academy under the motto "The New Normal".
The tourism sector has taken the most responsible measures and reacted most adequately to ensure the safety of its customers, Kunchev said.
