The development of organic farming in Bulgaria is one of the priorities of the Ministry of Agriculture and Foods which works to maintain the trend of increasing the number of organic farmers, the amount of organically cultivated lands and the diversity of organically grown crops and animals. The positive effects of organic products and foods for human health, protecting the environment and preserving natural resources have been greatly popularized lately. This is also due to the fact that bigger groups and communities, both in the European Union and in Bulgaria, are interested in healthy eating and sustainable use of natural resources.

The article deals with the structural differences of the documents in municipal administrations of Bulgaria. These documents are official forms that contain specific facts and information specified by the law. In this sense, each municipal administration works with documents using its own structure described in existing state and municipal regulations. Under the structure of the document in the article we understand a list of attributes of a given document and its specific meaning in terms of this document. In terms of municipal documents, the structure of the different forms does not change during the calendar year, but in many cases this structure differs for each subsequent calendar year. Therefore, this article focuses on the use of software methodology for dynamic document management in databases of municipal computer information systems of the local administration of the Republic of Bulgaria. For this purpose we consider the use of five software methods – software method for defining documents, software method for presenting documents in the form of metadata, software method for saving documents presented as metadata, software method of storing documents in the form of metadata, software method for retrieving documents stored as metadata.

Maintaining high competitiveness in tourism business (hotel business, in particular) contributes both to the long-term development and management of regions and to the sustainable and competitive development of regional tourist destination. The article deals with issues related to the competitiveness of tourism in Bulgaria by evaluating the hotel services offered to holidaymakers. The results are obtained based on a survey of four hotels (located on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast), conducted in August 2012. The article consists of three parts: socio-demographic characteristics of surveyed tourists; evaluation of the quality of services offered in hotels (reception services, evaluation of the rooms and restaurant in the respective hotel, and evaluation of nine types of services); evaluation of the differences in the services offered by hotels. The results of the study are that the "strong" and "weak" points are defined by types of services according to the opinion of the tourists interviewed. The emphasis is on improving the weak points and how to improve the characteristics of these indicators for the four hotels.
