An iconic moment marks the history of tourism education in Nesebar – a reunion of a class that half a century ago laid the foundations of professional service in the Sunny Beach resort complex. Nearly 50 out of 90 graduates gathered to recall their professional path and express gratitude to their alma mater.
Organizer Valka Tomova presented an emotional account of the years of training and subsequent realization. Her words outlined a picture of a generation formed with precision and responsibility towards the tourism industry. "The high school shaped us as professionals and individuals," she shared, emphasizing the lasting influence of the educational institution.
Mayor Nikolay Dimitrov presented the institutional perspective, focusing on the school's evolution. From the initial cooking and waiter classes to modern specialties in hospitality, the high school demonstrated exceptional adaptability to market needs.
Local authorities have ambitious plans for transforming the educational environment. A comprehensive renovation of the material base is planned, including the construction of new buildings and modern equipment for practical training. The ultimate goal is to transform the high school into a college that not only prepares professionals but also forms future leaders in the tourism sector.
The anniversary meeting highlighted not only the achievements of the class of '75 but also the strategic role of vocational education in tourism development. The shared memories and visions outlined the trajectory of an institution that continues to be a key factor in training personnel for one of the most dynamic economic sectors.
