modern, competitive, interesting production for tourists. to what extent can enterprises today be willing to accept tourists, which ones are the most popular? today, about 120 enterprises in our country receive tourists, of course, the flows of tourists differ from... we can say that the main flagships of industrial tourism are mechanical engineering, food and light industry enterprises, there are enterprises that receive tourists in very large flows, for example, such enterprises as belas, which was visited by 51,000 tourists last year, the minsk tractor plant, 21,000 tourists, a confectionery factory kommunarka, also about 10,000 tourists visited this factory, well, the entire enterprise
