Over 85% fewer tourists will visit Bulgaria's Southern Black Sea coast this summer, the chairman of the Burgas Regional Tourist Chamber, Ivan Ivanov, predicts. This summer, charter flights with tourists from abroad arrive on the Southern Black Sea coast from only four countries - Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. 
Representatives of the tourist sector call for tax relief for small and medium-sized businesses so they could survive. According to Ivanov, staff is being laid off en masse in the field of tourism.
