FIRST BULGARIAN ECHO HOTEL IN GABROVO RIGION IS COMING IN 2009
In the beginning of 2009 will be open Bulgaria’s 1th eco-hotel, in line with the relevant EU standards. This was declared on the Ecohotel conference held in Sofia through Denimila Dencheva- senior specialist with the Ministry of Environment and Water Affairs.There were lots of of tourism facilities in Bulgaria that put the word “eco”, when give an account of the services they propose. Some of them have assumed diverse documents, while others use the symbol without any authorisation. This was announced by Dnevnik on March 13.
The chief defiances facing Bulgarian business trying to comply with environmental standards was the supreme cost of eco facilities, the want of sufficient information on certification systems and criteria and of the economic advantages from eco tractability, Zornitsa Stavreva, executive managing director of the Bulgarian Association for Alternative Tourism, was adduced by Dnevnik daily as saying.
Investigation by the World Tourism Organisation presented Bulgaria would have around 10 EU- flexible eco-hotels by 2020.
Businesses looking to secure an eco document must , carry out 37 obligatory and 47 discretionary criteria, inclusive a replaceable energy share in overall power use of 22 per cent and a limit of 12 liters per minute on the water discharge from taps and showers .
The first thing I want to say is, thank you Kiki for all you have done. The first time we spoke to Kiki we felt right at ease. Because we didn' t know how or when we were going to be in Bulgaria we didn't let her know. So when we got there we contacted Kiki. Because we were only there for a week we didn't have much time. She immediatly made sure we could visit a house the same day. She called us crazy because it was 400 km from varna were we stayed. But we went. She could not be there with us because it was such short notice, but the next day she was. Kiki cleared her calender to make sure we could look at some other houses with her. Besides the fact she showed us some good houses we also had a lot of fun. When we went to see the last one it was bingo. So we would buy the house. Kiki made sure a paper work was oke before we left back to Belgium. Now not even a month later we can call ourselfes the proud owners of a house in Bulgaria. What Kiki did for us was amazing. Everything went smoothly without any problems. She is a hardworking woman,(sometimes to hard working), she makes sure everything goes smoothly. And besides that she is a great person. We know we have a new friend for life. When we buy our next house it will be with Kiki. So again Kiki thank you, you are amazing
