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. The fact is that in world practice, such entities are carried out, realized and will likely give very good economic and social outcomes, leading included enterprises and regions in which they operate, to economic prosperity. This project is a continuation of several previous studies concerning clusters on one side and tourism on the other. It comes to meet the scientific "intersection" of two research teams – those from the Departments of Industrial Business and Entrepreneurship and Commercial Business. 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.
