The hotels in Sunny Beach were affected by the media storm in 2007 at party holidays!
By taking a dive in the archives we found the following newspaper article, VG online.
In this, the following statistics skandinavieres involvement in criminal cases oppramset;
* Four Danish girls between 16-18 years have been raped.

There are still people who go to Sunny Beach, but mass tourism has in a way come to a halt as a result of the floods that devastated the reputation throughout Europe during the summer of 2007. The Bulgarian government has however been advocated to stop crime wave on the Bulgarian Riviera, and has set the policy measures to regain the Sunny Beach as a great party destination.
But it's not just politicians in the country benefiting from party tourists who show up in the summer months. Bulgaria, Eastern Europe in general, is characterized by a large proportion mafia-like organizations that benefit from mass tourism. In most tourist cities / countries (Naples, etc.) live mob of tourism, and touches not the tourists. Here there are reports of people being beaten up and thrown out of the supposedly dark cars with mafia character. This gave the least little meaning for our part, when the mob (given that they are engaged in traditional mafia activities) would lose large sums of money that people turn back to Bulgaria for their holidays.
