An expert group of environmentalists has given their approval for the eco-feasibility report of the vast project Super Borovets meant to reconstruct, develop and modernize the popular Rila Mountain resort.
The environmental feasibility report, which defends the preservation of local flora and fauna, precedes the work on the construction draft and territory plans under the project.
The enormous complex planned to encompass the towns of Samokov and Beli Iskar and Borovets resort aims to attract investments of about BGN 300 M in the construction of hotels and various types of equipment.
Plans include the construction of a special 7,000-bedspace village, social communication center, entertainment sites, shopping centers, winter sports facilities, swim pools, tennis and golf courses.
Within the projected three zones of construction, as per height above sea level, the ski tracks and lifts will be linked into a common network.
Bulgarian, as well as Italian, Spanish, German and British companies have already shown interest to participate in the Super Borovets project.
The modernization project of Borovets seeks to improve the prospective candidature of Bulgaria for Winter Olympic Games 2014.
its good to hear things are moving on, but the 2014 olympic bid will hopefully speed up construction, it wont bring the olmpics, but it will hopefully bring the whole Borovets area in to a premier ski resort.
Anyone who disagrees about the Olmpic bid, just take a look at the IOC website and have alook at both the succesful bid for 2010 and the failed S Korean Bid!!!!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I would like to see it but it will just get more and more expensive. It already has done over the last couple of years and I fear that will begin to reduce the attraction for us that that have been going. There will possibly come a point when Austria / Italy / France will be the same cost and then Bulgaria will lose it's competitive edge.
Just some late night ramblings but I do have my concerns.
