Bulgaria's largest Black Sea resort Sunny Beach intends to hire 5000 workers from the Bulgarian minority in Moldova.

The Bulgarian Association of Tourist Agencies announced Friday night that the Union of the Sunny Beach Proprietors was going to sign the contracts with its new workers by the end of February in the Moldovian capital Chisinau.

The main objective of the Sunny Beach tour operators is hire university students for summer internships at the Bulgarian resort, but unskilled laborers are also to be employed.

According to representatives of the Sunny Beach Union, Bulgaria's tourist business is ready to train its new employees, as it is no longer looking for cheap labor but rather for skilled laborers.

The Bulgarian minority in Moldova is targeted as a source of labor because in this way there would be no language barrier for the proper communication between the employers and the employees.

International agreement between Bulgaria and Moldova, which would legalize the hiring of the Moldovian citizens, is currently being prepared.

Hotel owners from Bulgaria's seaside claim the labor shortage in the tourism industry is so great that many hotels and restaurants will remain closed in the coming summer.
