  • THE ESSETERRE CO-IMPACT STORY Melissa Planting
    Rebuilding Bulgaria THE ESSETERRE CO-IMPACT STORY Melissa planting A New and Different Chapter for Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country rich with opportunity, but it has faced challenges in reaching its full potential. Bulgaria is part of the European Union (EU), but has one of the lowest GDP in the EU—with nearly a quarter of its population living at or below the global poverty line—and is experiencing at present the most extreme population decline in the world. Sadly, each year emigration erases dozens of towns from Bulgaria’s map. High death and low birth rates are also significant factors in depopulation, but lack of opportunity is the primary driver for this migration away from the country. As the nation’s men and women search for jobs abroad, severe structural and industrial decay become increasingly common. Experts on distribution of EU funds cite the high concentration of investments and resources in certain regions at the expense of others as a contributing factor to lagging infrastructure and a diminishing population. Before the fall of Communism, Bulgaria was not only produces some of the world’s best Lavender and an active industrial nation, it also had some of the Melissa. Its sunny and dry climate during harvest world’s preeminent essential oil research, development, coupled with dry, well-drained, sandy soils are ideal for and production. Organizations like the Rose Institute in these aromatic plants. For these reasons, dōTERRA Kazanlak were renowned for their sophistication and chose Eastern Bulgaria as the place to create a world- cutting-edge research. In the Post-Communist Era, not class production center for some of its most valued oils.

  • Organisation of Work, Time, Efficiency, Competition Dobri Zhelyazkov And
    Organisation of work, time, efficiency, competition Dobri Zhelyazkov and the first textile factory in Bulgaria and on the Balkan peninsula (by Aleksander Zoev) Dobri Zhelyazkov Fotisov - Factory maker (1800 - 1865) is a Bulgarian entrepreneur who founded the first textile production in Sliven and the Balkans in the 1830s. (Monument to Dobri Zhelyazkov in Borisova gradina, Sofia.) Born in Sliven,Ottoman Empire(nowadays Bulgaria), Zhelyazkov studied at the Greek school in his native town. Upon finishing, he tried several handcrafts until he discovered his talent in homespun tailoring. In the 1820s Zhelyazkov introduced an improved wool-carding machine in his work, drawing down upon himself the anger of his competitors, who complained to the authorities. However, this did not stop Zhelyazkov. In 1826, Zhelyazkov co-founded the Secret Brotherhood (Тайно братство, Tayno bratstvo) together with Dr Ivan Seliminski. The organization, initially a social one, would develop into a political society. Following the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–1829, Zhelyazkov took part in the organization of an uprising in the region of Sliven. However, after the signing of the Treaty of Adrianople in 1829, Zhelyazkov was forced to flee to Russia in 1830. He settled in Crimea, marrying another emigrant, Mariyka Yanakieva, and became a wool and cloth merchant, touring the country and observing textile production. In 1834, Zhelyazkov returned to Sliven with his family and settled in his wife's house. There he constructed a production building (2.20 × 4.80 m, 3.80 m high), where he fitted looms, carding and spinning machines constructed by local smiths to designs brought from Russia.

A. Tsenov Academy of Economics, Svishtov (Bulgaria) [email protected] Received: 22-01-2021 Accepted: 01-03-2021 Available online: 02-03-2021 Published: 16-03- 2021 Abstract: The Purpose of this research is to be traced the internalization process of the tourism business over the last decades in our country. It has been reasoned by a number of foreign economic factors by virtue of the open character of our national economy, the course of the transition economy reforms, as well as the peculiarities of the Bulgarian economy EU integration. The relation "internationalization of business - internationalization of the national economy" is studied in different directions and methodology, but in the present study an adapted version of the method developed by Alan Rugman is applied. The main approach is based on the comparison between the degree of internationalization in the national economy and the degree of internationalization of a specific type of business. The measurement of the degree of internationalization is done with the help of variables and a system of indicators, which are directed respectively to the business environment of the Bulgarian economy and to the specifics of the Bulgarian tourism business. As analysis findings of the processes of internationalization in the context of tourism, it is concluded that these processes play an important role in determining the position of Bulgarian tourism in its inevitable competitive opposition to other tourist destinations and their business.

  • STRATEGIES for the EXTENSION of the WINTER SEASON at MOUNTAIN RESORTS in BULGARIA Elenita Velikova1
    CBU INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INNOVATIONS IN SCIENCE AND EDUCATION 2020 (ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS) MARCH 18-20, 2020, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC WWW.CBUIC.CZ STRATEGIES FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE WINTER SEASON AT MOUNTAIN RESORTS IN BULGARIA Elenita Velikova1 Abstract: The achievement of the sustainable development of mountain tourist resorts is questionable in the light of global warming. Increasing average temperatures is a precondition of the additional shortening of the winter tourist season at mountain territories in Bulgaria. The goal of the present publication is to extract strategies for extension of the winter season at mountain resorts in Bulgaria, by proposing effective mechanisms, based on the tourists' preferences and the abilities of tourist entrepreneurs. Based on expert analysis of Bulgarian tourist resorts, personal researches and experience in the researched topic, we determine alternative sources of offering and organization of event as the main possibilities of extending the season. The effect of this research can go in two directions: on one hand, by identifying and discussing the basic concept of seasonality, it will contribute to the enrichment of scientific knowledge in the field with potential for future research. On the other hand, it can be beneficial to destination managers as it will offer a better understanding of the importance of holding unique events to shape the destination's image, reduce seasonality and develop a sustainable economy based on tourism. JEL Classification Numbers: G14, L83, R11, Z31, DOI: https://doi.org/10.12955/peb.v1.33 Keywords: winter tourist season, mountain resorts, special events, alternative types of tourism Introduction Tourism plays an important role in the EU economy.
