A power failure in Bulgarian Black Sea resorts left tourists and residents in the dark for nearly two days on July 23 and 24 2010.
The Bulgarian seaside resorts of Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Pomorie, Ravda, Obzor, Aheloi and St. Vlas featured among the regions left without electricity for the longest time period.
Most hotel owners are still calculating damages from the power failure. The electricity cut led to machine damages and the spoiling of food. Most tourists are showing understanding, but some insist for compensations.
The tourism sector is not eligible to compensations because the power supply was reestablished in less than 48 hours as required by law, Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism Traicho Traikov said, as quoted by Darik Radio.
According to Bulgarian law, tourists do not have the legal right to demand compensations, because the power failure was beyond control of hotel owners and tour operators, Consumer Protection Commission (CPC) chairperson Damian Lazarov said.
