Description
Videolux Holding, a Bulgarian retail developer, opened the Holiday Park Vratsa, creating 200 jobs in the new retail complex in Vratsa.
The expansion supports the local economy and includes green features such as four electric‑vehicle charging stations, and the construction of solar panels on the roof is planned to improve energy efficiency. All new positions are in retail and service units of the park. The more than 200 newly created jobs relate to retail and service activities within over 20 stores and food outlets operating in the park.
The retail complex is the seventh of its kind by the chain "Holiday Park" in Bulgaria. It hosts several retail stores and restaurants on over 25,000 square metres.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
