    Varna. Alcohol tourism affects the image of Bulgaria as a tourist destination and therefore it should be taken serious measures. That is what Assoc. Prof. Stoyan Marinov, board member of the Varna Chamber of Tourism said for Radio FOCUS Varna.

    There already are moves in this direction by hotel keepers who revolt against this type of alcoholic events and activities related to alcohol performances. Largely, these alcohol events are caused by tour operators not by hoteliers. It is about tour operators who work with young Scandinavian tourists and partly with guests from England. They organize a tour of restaurants around the complex, to derive additional benefits, and tourists get drunk. It is not difficult to take measures against such activities, he said and pointed out that such tours are nothing new for Europe.
