What makes your Group different? What is your leading priority at work? Krassimir Stanev: Tourism product development, its improvement and variety are the main concern for the top and middle management in the company. We put the product in the center of our professional efforts, keep the level of competitiveness, and the innovation, imagination and the risk are the motivation factors for the most of the capable managers in Albena PLC. Of course, this is a playing field without limitations and bureaucratic frames. The real challenge for our managers is to follow Steve Jobs belief – ”Get closer than ever to your customers. So close, in fact, that you tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves.” Krassimir Stanev: The transformation of Albena PLC from state-owned company to private public one was based on three main pillars – shareholders, employees and clients. Our goal is to keep the harmony and reasonable balance between these 3 main streams in the company business-scheme. So far we are successful. And what makes us successful? This is our focus on the client – our guest. The happier the client is, the more satisfied our shareholders, managers and employees are. With every season Albena Resort increases dramatically the numbers of the guests with whom we make direct online contact. For that purpose we implemented a new booking tool on our website www.albena.bg, developed by our specialists and put in operation a call-center that keeps contacts with potential clients in three languages during the whole year. For those who are looking for their dreaming holidays, our tour operators Flamingo Tours and Albena Tour are on their disposal. All these lead to new valuable profits for our guests and make their choice for vacation easier. What are you focusing on? What are your expectations for the future? Krassimir Stanev: 1.

Only here you will find something that cannot be seen anywhere at the Black Sea seaside – a unique combination of the nature beauties – the sea with huge beaches of fine sand and a mountain with virgin oak forests reaching the sands that we protect and use reasonably. These natural resources along with excellent services that we offer make us successful. Industries Financial Information Tourism and GA Agriculture Construction and Real Estate Bioenergy Nikola Valchanov, CEO, Primorsko Club PLC Natural Environment The fixed capital of Primorsko Club PLC is BGN 2 million, distributed in 2,000,000 dematerialized securities with a nominal value of BGN 1 each. In 2012 the branch of Albena PLC – International Youth Center (MMC) was transformed in Primorsko Club PLC. Albena PLC owns 100% of the shares. The scope of Primorsko Club PLC activities are hotel and restaurant management, tour operation, aviation, as well as operations connected with international and local tourism, facility management and maintenance of Vacation Club Primorsko and services offered to our guests. Primorsko Club PLC is a proud owner of the former International Youth Center (MMC) Primorsko, including 3 blocks of villas as the biggest one consists of 107 villas and 3 hotels. Les Magnolias hotel is the biggest one and offers 186 rooms and 4 apartments. Due to the high quality of offered services, exclusive combination of nature and architecture, it was awarded by the Bulgarian Tourist Chamber for the best hotel in 2004. Total capacity of Vacation Club Primorsko is 2,283 beds. Primorsko Club PLC is the owner of the whole infrastructure in the MMC area – alleys, water and sewerage systems, electricity network and power substations that ensure the power supply in the resort and the region, telephone and cable TV networks. The company policy is regulated by our main rule – to protect the natural environment. This rule is the foundation for all our activities in construction, development and management of the facilities. Primorsko Municipality is one of the cleanest areas in Bulgaria, without industrial plants in the region. The territory is not urbanized, but the road connections with the regional center town of Burgas, and the rest of the country are very well-developed and of first class. In the municipality are located the tourists towns Primorsko and Kiten, the beautiful river Ropotamo with its nature reserve with virgin subtropical vegetation and the nature reserve Arkutino with water lilies. Club Primorsko is situated in the Devil bay, between the towns of Primorsko and Kiten. In front of the resort a 3 km long rarely inhabited beach of fine golden sand is spread. The sea floor of the bay is shallow, even and covered with sand. The widest part of the beach is just ahead of the resort and reaches 200 m. It merges with sand dunes that are protected territories. The beach is maintained by Primorsko Club PLC and is used mainly by its guests as the company owns 90% of the adjacent to the beach territory. Vacation Club Primorsko is located in a thick oak forest at the sea level, in the foot of Strandzha Mountain. These factors give us the opportunity to continue developing the resort with residential buildings and sea holidays tourism. The proximity of Vacation Club Primorsko with the towns of Primorsko and Kiten is an important feature of the resort, giving the opportunity all advantages of the towns to be used, and at the same time to avoid disadvantages of the urban environment because of the existence of natural vegetation, parks, privacy, fresh air, silence and peace, combined with unique microclimate. The summer holidays season starts in the beginning of May and closes in October. It is characterized with temperatures of the air between 21-25° C and of the sea water between 20-24° C, with rare rainy days. In the clear waters of the Black Sea dolphins can be seen and our guest can enjoy their play. Very often dolphins escort the boats with the tourists. Sport Tourism A specific feature in our future development is emphasis on the sport tourism. Currently, we have very well developed sports facilities with playgrounds for football, volleyball and basketball, and three clay tennis courts. The virgin oak forest gives us the advantage to offer mountain tourism and Jeep Safari, and also to develop further the facilities for organized hunting and fishing tourism. In the region there are two yacht ports (in Primorsko and Kiten) and the airport Primorsko, owned by Primorsko Club PLC and suitable for light aviation, is only 3 km away. These two conditions benefit us to offer extreme air and sea sports. That’s why we continue to invest in sports tourism and focus on the construction of the open swimming pool with Olympic dimensions, more tennis courts and on improvement of the existing sports facilities. We believe that all our efforts in this direction will make us the leader in the sport tourism.

In the same time the company maintains ambitious investment program. Products and Services Company Overview Intersky PLC began its operation in 2001 when the agricultural site Lesnovo, very close to Lesnovo village, Elin Pelin Municipality, was purchased. Around the existing 450 meters long runway, located in the middle of a bare field, this, that we proudly called nowadays Lesnovo Airport, was started being built. Twelve years later, the runway is twice longer (910 meters), spacious platforms were constructed, taxiways were repaired, 3 new modern aircraft sheds for planes storing, fuel tax warehouse, and last but not the least – the most state-of-the art airport terminals for light aviation in Europe were built. The company is licensed for airport operator, as well as for aviation operator. Nowadays Intersky PLC sets the standards in Bulgarian small aviation circles. The services that Intersky PLC offers are in two main directions – airport operation and aviation services. As an airport operator, Intersky PLC manages the Lesnovo and Primorsko Airports, offering services to its private clients, owners of aircraft, and to aviation companies. The biggest school for amateur and professional pilots in Bulgaria – AirSport – operates on the Lesnovo territory. Also, a service center for broad range of aircraft in ultra-light and light class was opened in 2012. Being an airport operator, one of the Intersky PLC main activities is aviation fuel supply and sale. The company is the biggest supplier of AVGAS 100 LL for Bulgaria. A fuel facility for aviation kerosene JET A1 is going to be built soon. Intersky PLC activity as aviation operator includes performing corporate flights by the 4-seater Cirrus SR22, extremely suitable for short distances up to 1,000 nmi or 1,900 km. For longer distances, the company uses the proved Socata TBM-850, having comfortable cabin for 5 passengers plus a pilot and speed of 320 knots (593 km/h). Socata TBM-850 easily covers distances up to 1,500 nmi or 2,800 km. One of the greatest successes of Intersky PLC is the construction and putting in operation of the newest Lesnovo airport terminal in 2011, as well as receiving the license for the fuel tax warehouse for AVGAS 100 LL sale. The airport terminal consists of two-floors building with a tower for air traffic services for the flights over the airport area. The terminal comprises offices, cafeteria, restaurant and 5 cozy hotel rooms. The main focus now is renewing the asphalt of Lesnovo Airport runway and its enlargement from 910 meters to 1,300 meters. Also, the company aims to design an intensity lighting system for landing and taking off under low visibility, as well as to implement a weather station for precisely observing the atmospheric conditions over the airport area. Intersky PLC makes a lot of efforts in other direction as well. The goal is to affirm Lesnovo and Primorsko Airports as sites where popular aviation events can be held. The start was set in 2011 with the organization and conduct of the biggest aviation event in Bulgaria – Balkans Aviation Summit, held consequently on both airports. During the event, for the first time in Bulgaria, border police organized remote border control checkpoints and the opportunity for direct landing of aircraft from European Union out of the big international airports was given. Some of our biggest clients for organized events are Hawker Beechcraft, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Scania. CSR Intersky PLC supports the people in need from Elin Pelin Municipality annually. The support includes also grants for kindergartens, schools, specialized institutions for children, as well as different cultural events.

Intersky PLC employs 12 people, most of them are from the region. The company strives to retain its employees for a long term through establishing favorable working conditions, encouraging the team spirit and team cohesion.
