Developments in the formation and functioning of the Bulgarian clusters are in its initial phase. Strongly supported by the state these business units increased rapidly in number. However, such issues arise as: “How clusters should be actually working in our economy?”, “In which sectors should be exercised influence in the direction of support clusters?” “Really bunches of companies are suitable model a competitive economy?” etc. The answers to these and other issues related to cluster will be received in the future.

This project is a continuation of several previous studies concerning clusters on one side and tourism on the other.

Data collected by the project indicate many diverse processes in the field of clustering in the most attractive economic sectors in Bulgaria - tourism. They promise “interesting times” for those in clusters and for the policy-makers.
