The food vouchers will be valid for tourist services as well

The food vouchers will also be valid for tourism. This measure was adopted almost unanimously by the members of parliament when updating the budget. Thus, the people will be able to pay for the tourist services using food vouchers but only on the territory of Bulgaria.

This measure is among the key initiatives of the Minister of Tourism and is aimed at encouraging internal tourism and increasing the revenue obtained from tourist activities. By using vouchers, we will be able to pay for all tourist services that are described in the Tourism Act.

1,2 billion levs has been allocated in the budget for 2022. It is expected that about one fifth of this money will be used for tourist services. Over half a million officials receive food vouchers every month. The next step in the introduction of this measure will be the conclusion of contracts with the companies offering tourist services.
