Owners of restaurants and other tourism-related businesses will also have to choose between investing in their units’ rehabilitation or expropriation, said the minister.

According to the Tourism Ministry, Law 255/2010 and Government Decision 53/2011 allow expropriation for purposes of public interest, including construction, rehabilitation, modernization and development on the Black Sea coast and in tourist resorts.
