Ineks-Drim Hotels is a joint stock company in a phase of total privatisation by the employees. Mr. Goce Cakarevski, the General Manager, has been active in the hotel business for 25 years. Two years ago he assumed the post General Manager of Drim Hotels. A graduate economist with hotel business and tourism major, his vision of a future tourism is creation of a complementary branch to tourism meaning improvement of transport and post services, the infrastructure, the tourist promotion, and working on improvement of environmental awareness. Development of the countryside (village- and mountain-) tourism is of enormous importance for tourism as a whole.Cakarevski is of opinion that a lot more should be done in respect with faster and wider informing the world community on our national treasure. Attention should also be paid on professional training of tourist guides who should get perfect knowledge on the Republic of Macedonia and its cultural heritage and past. Cakarevski says that they exist for those guests who appreciate quality and good service. "We work round-the clock during the season with all our facilities being at guests' disposal."
