Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly affected tourism in the last two years. The tourism industry forms a big part of the world’s GDP and is an important industry in terms of employment. The great leakage of qualified, experienced and motivated tourism workers is severe for the future recovery and development perspectives of the tourism business. Tourism-dependent destinations, such as Bulgaria, are the most affected. Almost 11% of the Bulgarian economy is formed by the tourism industry. Some regions, such as the Black sea coast, are one of the tourism most dependent regions in the country as many people see their livelihood in tourism employment. Moreover, as a tourist destination with traditions, Bulgaria’s tourism foundation is contained in the experienced and qualified workers in the industry. The main purpose of the present article is to investigate the Covid-19 impact on the Bulgarian tourism labour market due to reveal the future perspectives for its development.
