Deutsche Welle presents data from the study "Sexual Еxploitation in Bulgaria: Myths and Reality". The research is carried out by Georgi Petrunov, Antoaneta Vassileva, Vassil Mihov, Iva Pushkarova, Yonko Grozev and Natasha Dobreva.

Around 8000-12000 Bulgarians work on the international sex-market. Annually they earn 1 billion Euro for the organized criminal groups. The richest local market is at the Black sea coast. Golden Sands, Albena and Sunny Beach are the top 3 destinations for resort prostitution.

Most of them come from the EU - predominantly citizens of UK (20.5%) and Germany (13%).
