III Belarusian-Russian Tourism Congress is taking place in Minsk

Online trade, investments in infrastructure, prospects for river and rail cruises. More than 500 representatives of the business community are taking part in the III Belarusian-Russian Tourism Congress in Minsk. For three days they will discuss the harmonization of legislation and proposals for the development of the industry in the Union State. This year there are 10 thematic sections within the forum — from religious, gastronomic to industrial. The key event of the congress is the awarding of the first restaurant prize in the history of Belarus. It should be noted that the tourist flow between Belarus and Russia has grown by 40% in recent years. Minsk and Moscow are actively developing air communication. Last year, more than 150 regular flights per week were organized between the countries. At the end of April, a new air route Mogilev-Moscow will be opened.
