    ISSUES IN ENSURING WORKFORCE AVAILABILITY IN TOURISM
    (MESTE NGO, 2026-01-15)
    Postolov, Kiril
    ;
    Elenov, Riste
    This paper examines workforce security in the tourism industry. It focuses on seasonality, labor shortages, employee motivation, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tourism is highly vulnerable to seasonal fluctuations, which create an unstable labor market dominated by temporary, part-time, and migrant work. These conditions lead to high turnover and difficulties in retaining skilled employees. Low wages and poor working environments further reduce job satisfaction and morale. The study analyzes how these challenges affect both workers and employers, emphasizing the growing reliance on migrant labor in many regions. It also explores strategies to mitigate problems, such as improving motivation, offering better conditions, and adopting flexible employment models. In addition, the paper considers the long-term effects of COVID-19 on tourism employment, including shifts in demand, migration patterns, and new health and safety standards. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and industry leaders. They propose practical measures to build a more stable and sustainable workforce. By addressing the root causes of labor insecurity, the study contributes to developing effective workforce strategies and a more resilient labor market.

    Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium L.) Response to Self-Regulating Low Energy Clay-Based Irrigation (S.L.E.C.I.) System

    In early initial tests, the Self-regulating Low-Energy Clay-based Irrigation (S.L.E.C.I.) has provided convincing results. During the DIVAGRI project, S.L.E.C.I. irrigation was plotted against reference drip irrigation and rain-fed control in order to compare soil moisture dynamics across different soil depths (30 cm, 60 cm, and 90 cm), irrigation water use, cherry fruit quality traits and yield, and irrigation water productivity (IWP). The data, collected between 2021 and 2023 at the Fruit Growing Institute–Plovdiv test site, reveals that S.L.E.C.I. system demonstrates a clear robustness from short-term climate fluctuations, maintaining root-zone moisture with greater consistency across depths. This contrasts with higher climate dependency observed in the reference variants. The average water productivity of S.L.E.C.I. irrigation is more than 12 times higher compared with the average IWP for drip irrigation. Probably, the superior ratio stems from two factors: first, S.L.E.C.I. delivered only the water that root tension demanded, and second, there is almost no loss of water to evaporation or deep percolation. Statistical analysis confirms that S.L.E.C.I. reduces variability within the crop, delivering significant improvements in both productivity and uniformity, essential traits for high-value commercial fruit production. Despite facing challenges, S.L.E.C.I. remains a promising sustainable irrigation technology, supporting efficient resource utilization while reducing environmental impact.

    Economic Factors Influencing the Development of the Meat Market in the Republic of North Macedonia
    (Faculty of Economics, University of Veliko Tarnovo “St. Cyril and Methodius”, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, 2025)
    Martin Gjorgjiev Aleksandra Silovska Nikolova
    Man has been consuming meat since ancient times, and with the increase in the world population, the demand for beef is increasing daily. The meat market in the Republic of North Macedonia is an integral part of the food industry, whose dynamics and economic impacts have direct and indirect significance for developing the domestic meat production and trade. To analyze the financial aspects of the meat market in the Republic of North Macedonia, we surveyed prices and attitudes towards domestic and imported meat by conducting a study that was distributed electronically. A total of 400 respondents participated in the research. Price is a key factor in purchasing, and meat imports affect the cost of the domestic market. It is necessary to work on strategies for developing and protecting domestic meat production. The analysis also indicates the importance of harmonizing policies that will support the development of this sector and reduce dependence on imports
