2) Local sources

In our republic there are several well-known producers of vinegar - the most well-known is vinegar from Bzenec which was founded in 1921 (South Moravia). The second is vinegar from Úsobí (from region Vysočina) which was founded in 1994 and third is vinegar from Jindřichův Hradec - Fruko Schulz (South Bohemia). But these producers don´t offer organic vinegar. Many people want to buy and consume products made in the Czech Republic, but the market is glutted with products from abroad. The question is ´Why?´. Climatic and geographic conditions offer a wide variety of food that we can grow and produce.

Our project is based on local materials. For example, in the district Žernoseky we can find sprawling vineyards. So in this area it would be appropriate to build family hotels. Hotels (or guesthouses) would offer products from local sources, such as wine, home-made honey products, bio-vinegar. A similar situation is found near the city of Most (there are vineyards on recultivated mining areas – primarily the hills of Špičák and Hněvín). Products from those areas would be available only for the Czech market.

Another option is built eco-farms with sales of home-made ecological products. In Ústí region we can find several eco-farms, but there is no advertising. There is absence cooperation between farms, so they could start to cooperate and create a network with eco-products. In Ore Mountains there are good conditions to found new eco-farms.  

Most hotels and guesthouses offers modern facillites with modern comfort. Hotels can be built in an unusual style to attract turist. For example in region Žatecko hotel with microbrewery, interior of the hotel could respond village cottage from 19th century.
