"Bulgarian vacation spots along the Black Sea are in a quandary. They are drawn to the short-term money mass tourism brings, but don't want to make the same mistakes as the Spanish," Deutsche Welle commented in an article on the weak and strong sides of Bulgaria's tourism sector.
Investors have built gigantic hotel complexes, significantly increasing the number of beds along the Black Sea Coast, the article says.
Among the problems that the article singles out are empty beds, lack of skilled workers and the need for a significant change in the direction in which the country's coastline is heading.
