The goal of the current research is to analyze two major points: The rural tourism is one of the government’s instruments for achieving strategic goals in the development of the rural tourism for the period from 2007 to 2013 ; There are forming productive and customary recesses in the rural for development of the rural tourism. The communes in Bulgaria are 81% in territory and 42% in population. There is disbalance in the development of the city and agricultural sectors in matter of economic and educational level, demography, access to basic services etc. Over 80% of the communes define tourism as a priority. Only 26% from the people living in the agricultural sectors work additionally – rural tourism, hobbies etc. Only 370 hosts work in the field of rural tourism. Examining the rural tourism as a limited sector of the economy (agricultural, tourism, transport etc) allow identifying the productive and customary recesses, which on one side will satisfy major part of the government’s strategic goals for development of the agricultural sectors, and on other side will prove the rural tourism as a profitable business for Bulgaria.

  THE STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL – EUROPEAN ALTERNATIVE OF QUALITY

The implementation of the statistical methods for quality control of the technological processes is an important approach that ensures a substantial increase in the quality of the production. The statistical methods for quality control are wide spread practice in the developed countries. On the contrary they are almost not implemented in the Bulgarian economy and as a result achieving high quality by the European standards is only a good intention. The survey performed in about 300 enterprises from the machinery construction industry in Bulgaria have shown that the statistical methods are unknown to the workers in that branch of industry and that they have not been implementing such methods in the practice despite their obvious advantages. Thus it is necessary for the Ministry of Economy and Energy to undertake practical steps on the implementation of statistical methods for quality control in the machinery construction enterprises by developing a “Strategy” in which to define the priorities of the Government, the measures and the financial resources that will ensure the training of specialists and the implementation of modern systems for quality management.
