VIVACOM is the new name of the largest telecommunication company in Bulgaria which unifies the services and teams of BTC and Vivatel. The change of the corporative identity was the last stage of the fusion and as a result VIVACOM is now a company with unified vision, team and full portfolio of services with shared corporative identity.
The idea for the first VIVACOM Golf Tournament was a logic consequence of the company policy, which follows values as innovative thinking, dynamic development and loyal relations. Golf is a sport of dignity and increasing number of Bulgarian players are unified by their passion of it. The St. Sofia Golf Club & Spa course has crucial part in this process because of its location near Sofia – only 25 kilometers from the city center and because of its 72,4 EGA rating.
