The event was organized by the regional chairman of the Bulgarian-Turkish Women’s Business Club Gulcan Hasan Ahmedova with the support of the National Tourism Board, and was attended by leading experts, business representatives and institutions involved in the development of the tourism sector.
Among the speakers at the event were the rector of the University of Economics – Varna and lecturers from the University of National and World Economy, representatives of leading tourism companies – Lucky Bansko Hotel, Sunny Day Complex, Riviera Complex, Albena Complex AD, Black Sea Hotel, Aura Hotel – Ravda.
Associate Professor Dr. Asya Pandzherova, manager of the hotel management company Hotels and Dreams OOD and executive director of Aparthotel Lucky Bansko, actively participated as a panelist in the topics discussed, sharing not only academic knowledge, but also her practical experience in successfully managing hotel complexes.
Representatives from Turkey also shared their experience in the development of this priority sector for the economy and their desire to support the exchange of experience, ideas and personnel between the two neighboring countries. Opportunities for partnership and borrowing experience in the tourism segments – culinary and wine tourism, medical, SPA and cultural tourism – were commented on.
The business forum showed once again that the basis of the forward movement of every business is private initiative in constant partnership with educational institutions. The desire was expressed for the state to take an appropriate position in the process not just as a regulator, but as a stimulating factor for the prosperity of the tourism industry in Bulgaria.
