Tourism Legislation Update
Following the work of tourism expert Ilin Dimitrov, the project was further developed by Minister Zaritza Dinkova. Now, according to Miloshev’s words, it is clear that the work is almost finished and final touches are in progress. The draft law is based on three main pillars – preventive control over the activities of tour operators, mandatory tourist insurance, and the guarantee fund itself. However, the question of how much creating this Guarantee Fund will cost remains unanswered, according to Daniela Stoeva – member of the Board of Directors of As.
Challenges Faced by Tour Operators in Bulgaria
The recent decision to extend the measure limiting the working hours of tour guides in Bulgaria has caused accounting chaos and difficulties for tour operators. The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) is calling for the measure to be extended until the end of the year. However, this decision ultimately depends on the National Assembly, and Bulgaria would be in violation of European legislation if it unilaterally extends it, as it was intended to be temporary and applicable only in exceptional situations.
Furthermore, the regulation of the work of tour guides, which the Commission for Protection of Competition (CPC) found to be in violation, is also a major issue for the sector.
The benefits of regular exercise
Exercise is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. It also improves mood, reduces stress, and boosts overall energy levels.
Engaging in regular exercise can also help with weight management by burning calories and building muscle mass. It can improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and improving circulation. Exercise also plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones and joints, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and arthritis.
In addition to the physical benefits, exercise has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, improve cognitive function, and enhance overall well-being. It can also improve sleep quality and increase self-confidence.
Overall, incorporating regular exercise into your routine can have numerous benefits for both your physical and mental health. Whether it’s going for a run, attending a fitness class, or simply taking a walk, finding ways to stay active can greatly improve your quality of life.
