Minister Angelkova initiates a meeting with tourist businesses in Slanchev bryag to change the resort’s image

We are elaborating an ordinance on the status of national resorts where we will set out specific texts to change the image of Slanchev bryag. Thus said today the Minister of Tourism, Nikolina Angelkova, at a meeting about the resort complex’s future, which was held at her initiative. The mayor of Nessebar Municipality, Nikolay Dimitrov, Dimitar Boychev, MP, hoteliers, restaurateurs, beach concessionaires, etc. took part in the discussion as well.

„Slanchev bryag is one of our biggest resorts, creating much of our summer tourism product’s image. We must all join forces to find working solutions in order to change the way it looks“, Minister Angelkova said. She explained that amendments to the Tourism Act envisage creation of a dedicated ordinance for the national resorts, which will contain texts about each such resort. „This is the reason why I initiated this first consultative meeting with all stakeholders so we can earmark measures, which would yield results as early as the next summer season“, Nikolina Angelkova explained.

Participants in the meeting proposed to ban placement of moveable stalls in certain locations in the resorts and allocated dedicated plots for them. This will free the central alleys from the eye-soring stalls and will introduce clear rules where they can be placed. Slanchev bryag AD will meet these requirements but they also need to be implemented in private properties, otherwise we will not achieve any visible effect. It is therefore important to outline the requirements together and apply them in actual practice“, Minister Angelkova emphasized.

Ministry of Tourism’s experts will propose specific texts to be discussed at a follow-up meeting with all stakeholders at the summer season’s end. They are expected to be incorporated in the legislative amendments and be in effect for the 2017 season.
