The 2024 summer season has meant more in every respect – more revenues, tourists, sunny days, even more than the record-high  results of 2019, caretaker Minister of Tourism Evtim Miloshev said in an interview with bTV. But there are more problems as well – staff shortages, low self-esteem and sense of national product, rising prices of fuels, of food, higher end prices, Evtim Miloshev said. In a comment on the unofficial data that almost 10% of the workers from third countries who receive blue cards to work in Bulgaria, and the EU respectively, go to another country, Minister Miloshev stated that the problem has arisen because there is a shortage of workers in Bulgaria. We need a big discussion about Bulgarian tourism with the Ministry of Education, but also about infrastructure, the visa regime, the environment, overtourism – a problem that does not exist yet, he added.
