The Bulgarian Association of Travel Agents (BATA), the body representing the country’s travel agency and tour operating industry, has named Jamadvice HRG as top travel agency.
 
The award is an annual one, voted by BATA members.
 
The prize was handed over on February 25 during the annual Sofia Travel Fair, at a ceremony at Sofia’s National Palace of Culture.
 
"This recognition is sincerely appreciated as it comes from the travel trade to the travel trade and perhaps recognises the contribution we have made to the local travel sector over the past 18 years," Mark Thomas, of HRG Bulgaria Jamadvice Travel Ltd, said.

Mark Thomas has seen many changes in Bulgaria during the last 17 years but he thinks the ‘transition’ only really began in 1997

One Life Charity scores for the children

Sixteen teams and their supporters helped raise 16 000 leva for medical equipment and staff training for the children's home in Pleven, central Bulgaria.

Business in Bulgaria misses qualified labour

The economic boom and relative prosperity that businesses in Sofia are currently experiencing and the relatively new-found prosperity in which the capital's inhabitants are in the midst does have drawbacks. As more and more international and local businesses alike discover that Sofia has many things going for it, there is an enormous squeeze on one of those attributes vital to a successful business - labour.
