Controversial tender for beach camping at Sinemorets: 'Baba Alino' project with caravans
Original source: Burgas24.bg

In Brief

In Bulgaria, a camping site with 85 caravans and 20 motorhomes is planned on a beach near Sinemorets. The tender for 35 hectares has sparked controversy over conditions critics say may have been tailored.

The municipality of Tsarevo held a tender for the lease of 35 hectares of land for a camping site with 85 caravans, 20 motorhomes and tents under the 'Baba Alino' project. The winner is the company PEPE.BG, linked to the sole individual participant whose bid was declared invalid. The annual rent is 6700 euros excluding VAT.

The tender, announced for 11 January 2026, sparked controversy over conditions that critics say may have been tailored to a specific participant. Part of the territory falls within the forest fund of Strandzha Nature Park and was previously subject to legal disputes. The project includes a camping site with infrastructure such as a restaurant and parking.
