Ecologists and citizens have been outraged by Nova TV and its new riality show, which is filmed on a beach

For several days now, the Ministry of Tourism does not answer the questions posed by environmentalists and the media about the signals for banning access to a beach on our native Black Sea coast. It's about Listi Beach, where "Games of Will: Bulgaria" is currently being shot. The program will be broadcast on Nova TV. Through her facebook profile, Gery Nikolova showed a video of how heavy machinery has uprooted trees and made a way to the beach, and tourists are not allowed.
