Answer:

The first time zones in the US was created by the railroad industry. The need for time zones was felt the railroads spread over thousands of miles. During the 1880's most of the towns in the US had their local time. and these local times created scheduling problems for the railways. Hence the railroad companies agreed for a new time code system. They divided the continent into four time zones. The congress officially adopted the railroad time zone in 1918.

In 1883, it was the "railroad industry" that was responsible for creating the first system of time zones in the United States, since the introduction of rail travel meant that there needed to be a set table of departure and arrival times across the US.

Which of the following countries claims to have "the most modern resort in eastern europe " answer poland hungary bulgaria roman

bulgar [2K]

For beach resorts, that would be Turkey. In the last few years, they put huge investments in their tourism industry and a lot of efforts in modernizing their resorts. Perhaps the most popular and eventually the best Turkey resort is Antalya. It is a very modern tourist destination, compatible with any Western Europe resorts in terms of attractions, service and prices. Plus, it is spiced up a little with the taste of the Orient. The diversity of products is wide and you can find what you are looking for whether you look for a family vacation or for wild night life.

<span>If you look for something more "inside Europe", Greece and Croatia are the only Eastern countries that can offer high quality tourism products. </span>

<span>For winter sports probably the best resort would be "Bansko" in Bulgaria. It is still in process of development though.</span>
