Controversial Tender Leases Large Sinemorets Beach Area for Caravan Campsite

A significant portion of the first-line area of Butamyata beach in the Bulgarian coastal village of Sinemorets has been leased for a caravan campsite. The Tsarevo municipality granted the lease for the campsite, which is situated in the forest behind the beach.

The municipality leased four municipal properties for this purpose. These properties are officially registered as agricultural land, raising questions about the legality and transparency of the tender process. The decision has drawn scrutiny, with reports suggesting potential irregularities in how the land was allocated for commercial use as a campsite.

This development raises concerns among environmentalists and local residents about the impact on the natural landscape and public access to the popular beach. The allocation of land designated as agricultural for a commercial campsite is a point of contention, prompting calls for greater accountability in municipal land management.
