The Agricultural Vocational High School in Sandanski “Kliment Timiryazev” now has its own training hotel. In it, students conduct practical classes, serving real guests when there are any. The agricultural high school will soon have its own dairy and winery.
The base really looks impressive and creates excellent conditions for the future training of students in the “Tourism” sector. The training hotel has 7 rooms and one apartment.
In order to become the first training hotel, the agricultural high school made a project and applied for money from Europe. It won first place, Nova TV specifies.
“The ranking was determined by many indicators – the students' performance on the state matriculation exams, the material base and others”, explained the director of the educational institution Emil Terziyski.
„The idea is for the students to conduct their practice in a real work environment, to be able to really train and learn the intricacies of the hotel industry. Of everything that is related to welcoming and sending off the guests of our city. There are 8 rooms, with two beds, with the last one being an apartment and there is an option for two beds. This is, for example, when a family comes, they can be accommodated in this apartment”, Terziyski also said.
The hotel welcomes its first guests on the first school day. Then some of the school's official guests are accommodated in the rooms. They are served entirely by the students from the specialized classes, who also prepare breakfast. For now, the place will only welcome officials and visiting students.
Along with the school hotel, the school is building its own dairy. Cheese and yellow cheese will be produced there, and goats and chickens will be raised for this purpose,” he added.
Another acquisition for the high school is expected in September. A winery should also start operating then. The grapes will be harvested from the school's vineyards near Sandanski.
