New safety rules for water attractions on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast
The public consultation regarding the new safety rules for providing water attraction services in Bulgaria has concluded. The changes are aimed at better protecting tourists who use services such as parasailing, jet skis, and other water entertainment during their vacation.
Key requirements include stricter control over the technical condition of the equipment and the qualifications of the operators who manage the boats and facilities. The authorities' goal is to reduce the risks of accidents, which often occur due to a lack of sufficient experience or poorly maintained equipment.
The new regulations also provide for clearer marking of the zones where these sports are permitted. This will help to better separate swimming areas from those used for motorized water attractions, which is essential for the safety of vacationers on the beach.
It is expected that the introduction of these measures will increase the quality of the tourism product in Bulgaria. Business owners offering water attractions will have to comply with the new standards before the start of the active summer season in order to continue their operations.
These changes are an important step toward a safer and more peaceful summer for all guests and residents of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Law enforcement authorities will strictly monitor compliance with the new requirements to ensure that the rules are applied equally to all participants in the tourism market.
