500 thousand Russian tourists visit Belarus every year

500 thousand Russian tourists come to Belarus every year. The information was acquired with the help of a questioning organized by the Ministry of Sports and Tourism.
However, according to Belarusian travel agencies, only about 100 thousand Russian tourists visit Belarus every year. Summer vacations are most popular.

At the same time, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism is planning to make winter amusements at ski resorts “Silichy” and “Lahoiski” more popular.

Young Russians are more interested in Minsk while people above 25 and below 60 prefer individual tourism at Belarusian rivers, lakes and in forests.

Elderly Russians visit Narach and places connected with World War II that remind them of the Soviet time.
