Hi all, I was talking on skype with my friends in Varna & they are saying the season ahead looks to be very bleak for the tourism industry in 2009 .....but the rents for restaurants goes up my friends rent for the place they had last year in St Konstantin is 86,000 leva for the season 46,000 leva for the beach & 40,000 leva for restaurant.....now Bulgaria has new laws regarding the beach space you can charge for 50% of beach must be free so to re-coup 46,000 leva for beach is ludicrous....they asked to take restaurant only & were told no ....so Natalie is taking a job in Golden Sands as pool bar attendant 550 leva a month ....ths will give tourists an idea of the hardship restaurant tenants have & the pressure they are under to get people into their establishments & maybe a bit more pleasant when saying no to people trying to get you into eat .
by the way 550 leva a month is a good wage

It's a very good wage.
I was walking through Sveti Konstantin last year with a friend when we met her former teacher, who had retired and was running a tiny lace/materials stall in the resort - her pension was just over 100 Leva per month and the rent for the stall was phenominally high.

But in relation to rents that are getting charged ....maybe not so good Baldur

True, Stevie, but for resort work in a country with a national minimum wage level of 240 Leva per month it's very good. Advertisements for English-speaking servitori in the Southern resorts are offering around 320 Leva per month.
The majority of Bulgarians can only dream of earning anything like 550 Leva per month.
