Summary
The import of employees in the tourism sector is not a new phenomenon for Bulgaria. After the accession of Bulgaria to the EU, there has been an active exchange of employees from the member states. The global pandemic has led to a massive outflow of people seeking employment in tourism, and Bulgaria has been forced to turn to third countries. Seasonality and low wages have further complicated the recruitment activities from the local labour market, making the import of employees vital for the tourism sector. The large number of tourists from Russian-speaking and English-speaking countries expands the possibilities of the countries from which those willing to work in Bulgaria can be attracted. This paper, which focuses on the current state and mechanisms for importing employees for the tourism industry, is based on the existing legal framework, published scientific articles and data obtained from various sources, as well as the websites of the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy of Bulgaria.
