good evening, the talk show is essentially, today we will talk about how the tourism industry of belarus is doing, about guides, and

more. in our studio there are competent people who know absolutely everything about this area, but if you are interested in something, you can become participants in our program, right here below. literally the last year and a half, well, i’m personally talking about what i observe, and minsk has really turned into a city of a large number of tourists, a lot of people who come not only from russia, although the majority are probably from this country, so we are looking at how our, well, the industry

of enterprises, restaurant business, cafes is trying to pretend to please everyone, that’s it, we are looking at how the center of the city of minsk is changing, we are looking at how new beautiful touristic neighborhoods, but at the same time, well, it seems to me, a lot of questions arise, because maybe i’m deeply mistaken now, but it seems to me that to some extent very little attention has been paid to tourism lately, yes, we may continue to drive vacation abroad, ours are the united arab emirates, turkey, egypt, we continue to go to sanatoriums and agricultural estates, but our tourism potential is now being used in cities. for russians, i will tell you a story that happened to me quite recently, against which, in fact, we began to simply look to understand how this industry works in our country; on the island of tears, i heard from one guide

who worked with the russian delegation that in minsk, in her opinion, there are no normal museums, there are only art and cat museum, i have a question: who controls our guides, how do they choose certain locations to go to show, the second story, and how do we make these locations work? again, an example, we have an upper city, we have a newly opened rakovsky suburb, which is now filled with various images of cafes, restaurants, a theater courtyard has opened there, there is a troitsky suburb, but tell me, what’s there? and there’s nothing there, it’s there, but there’s nothing there, this is the view of a journalist, philip, maybe i’m on to something i’m wrong, well, what exactly are you wrong about, you just asked who controls and regulates the activities of tour guides, no, why does it seem to me that some of our

locations do not work 100%, with regards to the troitsky suburb, maybe we don’t use them completely, maybe someone should, for example, write programs so that... this demand gives rise to supply, sometimes it went a little differently when interested specialists or commercial companies creating a new product tried make it artificially, on the contrary, layer future demands and prepare, in general, the greater the flow, the higher the demand and, accordingly

, the better the proposals are prepared, the more and there are some additional attractions, optional extras from restaurants, additional museums, animation... programs for which whatever, accordingly, this question, it is quite general, it needs to be analyzed, probably into details, i would probably try better - talk about what did not exist and what appeared, no, let us now. let's talk about how it is: we have a huge, almost five million flow

of russian tourists to the republic of belarus, this is per year, this is per year, these are quite large numbers, and 90% of this flow uses online aggregation, or direct websites of sanatorium accommodation facilities , purchases this voucher, travel, accommodation and stays in our city, unfortunately for us in our capital the number of rooms is not very large and i’m sure. what i can’t say about the exact numbers is 54% or 57, but i’m sure it’s no less half are accommodated in so-called apartments or private apartments, then tourists, without experiencing problems with possible internet services, yandex taxi, world maps, in russian, have fun on their own and walk around our city at their convenience, naturally, including via the internet they book excursions , interact directly with guides, that’s what’s fashionable... what’s promoted, what’s branded, that’s what they use, well , that’s what kirill is talking about, that what

’s fashionable and what’s what is promoted is not always coincides, as i understand it, with the fact that we really want to show the best side, the best side of us passion, unfortunately, yes, and this applies not only to belarus, in general, probably, in principle , to our entire planet, because tourists want all the brightest and sometimes even consumer goods. we would like to sell something to show high-quality, handmade, real, something that in our opinion, probably, but i’m not talking about lubok, you ’re being ironic in vain now, lubok is also good, we come, show, we have a slavic language for this market where we can show everything you want, there are the same dudutki, there is sula, everything you want can be shown, i mean that we actually, it seems to me, have developed some kind of gray market, when , as you say, you are on the internet you can order something for yourself. look, and at the same time it’s not entirely correct, i may, here

’s a question again, maybe again i don’t think so, well , let’s figure out how it should be and how it is now established in the country for excursions, in our national agency there is a large array of control texts and technological maps of excursions, there are more than 140 of them, they are with reviews, we also conduct jointly with the institute of history, academy... monitoring these texts to identify any already accumulated inconsistencies, they wrote in different years, accordingly, we carry out annual work on developing new, modernizing old texts, according to which applicants can undergo professional certification, so that with a badge of a guide or guide translator, they can work with both belarusians and foreign guests along these routes, which in... just now

there was a story that people need something, something bright, something that they can get quickly, something that they can, well , roughly speaking, google, if we now take a russian tourist and, relatively speaking, i’m exaggerating what we’re talking about, i’ve now decided that i can conduct excursions around minsk, i keep saying on instagram:

okay, the one who conducts the excursion illegally is doomed to have this fact revealed sooner or later, how , it’s like about a taxi, no, it’s like about a taxi, i got into the car there, put myself in a minibus, five people told you, my dears, we are going to a friends’ wedding together, the employees stopped us, we are all going to a wedding together, that

’s how it all happens, that’s what we actually said in the last program, we said so in the last taxi program.

they say that you are saying the wrong thing, well , fortunately i was lucky, they don’t talk about this to me often, and to be honest, they don’t talk about it at all, i use the control texts that dmitry viktorovich already mentioned, and the information in them is clear, verified, quite possibly, that’s why, look, here philip says that all over the world, strictly speaking, the interest is not at all in what the state wants to show, well, for example, i remember 10-15 there, i didn’t say that, such a fairly popular excursion that 15 years ago in st. petersburg it was very, well, promoted, this is understandable, not what

the russian state and the mayor’s office of st. petersburg want to show, but people came, ordered, that’s generally the case with us. yes, it can, as with other applicants according to our texts, after passing the written testing for knowledge of the history, culture, geography of belarus, going for an oral interview and we have quite a lot of such excursions, that is, guides who have their own creative interest, orientation, passion, they transform it into a test text, this is what in principle, our industry is proud,

look, this will be your intellectual property, if you are defending yourself in minsk , the capital of the republic of belarus, then... this is the intellectual property of the national agency, you can learn this text using it on the basis of preparing your own individual text, but you will cost less, right on the market, well, there are many like you, just well, in principle, yes there will be a lot, but there will be hundreds of people with this topic on the list of certified excursions, only you will have minsk-criminal , if someone wants minsk-criminal, in the open part of the register of tour guides and interpreter guides there will be only you, or there is the history of the capital’s punch. what is the name of this excursion to the sweet shops and vodorminskaya kala, well, that is, there are quite a lot of them and the people who have them developed, which means developed, came up with a text, found interesting plots, thought out the route on what corner, how to turn, this is interesting, minsk is criminal, we probably don’t have anything like that, but minsk is revolutionary, yes, for example, this is

quite easy, you’re saying now about relaxation, about entertainment, but today we understand what time we live in and what is happening. around us, what is happening inside our state, and we know what kind of people there are, how they behave, today domestic tourism, i mean, now for our citizens, for our youth, this is far, far from entertainment, these are elements of educational ideological work, and today we have indeed adopted a corresponding law, and with other measures we are urgently establishing order here, because for a long time many people were asking questions and could be heard in our independence square, there where is lenin’s memorial, that this should be demolished, right here. there was a good church war here, it didn’t survive the war, and with everything else, well, with all the other intricacies, not the intricacies, of the usual historical heresy, which poured into the ears not only of foreigners, but of our citizens. or it means, uh, there was a separate excursion to the places of the bnr figures, to the places of the bchbash all sorts of rags of everything else with elements

of the glorification of it all, that also happened, and today it is also being exaggerated in underground topics, we see that such elements and facts exist, therefore what am i talking about today, this issue is under the control of the state, yes, we can adopt the appropriate instructions, we can read the text, but we will get into people’s heads or not to these guides, who are not on a tour, are a supporter of the belarusian state and know how it was here, what happened, they use polish or lithuanian stamps in matters of patriotic education of our population, well, here’s another nuance, what a moment, then,

just an example for comparison , as in other states, israel, a state, unfortunately, well, we know it has historically developed constantly at war there based on certain historical characteristics, but in israel in israel that’s who with the guides israeli or in israel i met, communicated, every young israeli visited svensk. moreover, it was not the school that brought him there and not the state, but the family, because there is a clear understanding in israeli society that if you don’t go and see what will happen to a jew, if he doesn’t respect his history, what will happen to him? will happen, that’s why today all of them, both girls and men, are defending their homeland there, and how they defend it, we won’t discuss this, but it’s a fact, in our country, at least every resident of belarus, a young resident of belarus should visit khatyn,

then we have fun in polotsk in the evening, the brewery there is wonderful, the tastings are just great, we spend the night, we either have a gazebo, barbecue, yes, or we are doing some kind of corporate event, dinner, the next day we go to the berezinsky reserve, we see the bison, feed the bear oranges, although the berezinsky reserve told me, you will advertise again, we will oranges for you, yes, because the bear will develop diathesis, yes, and then we go to khatyn and such it turns out that the program on the one hand, we... guides, tour guides, people who communicate with tourists, these are people, firstly, creative, intellectually developed, and most importantly, i worked for 14 years as a tour guide, guide, accompanying person, this is the one who loves his country, knows its history and geography, inner desire, whatever, through text

to motives. what they like, who they are, the guides who go then talk about how we don’t have normal museums, only an art museum and a cat museum, so we should have gone to the island all, i had such a story, that’s what we’re talking about, it was an unorganized group, that is , you understand when you listen, well, it was as visually organized as possible, people with some kind of flag, the person denoting the guide, i can’t say that , i didn’t remember, unfortunately, yes, but just colleagues,

if there is a tour in the city, a guide?

in the city of minsk, i see everywhere except troitsky suburb, in troitsky suburb, if we now start with just everyday issues, not in the program, but discuss what, where to go in troitsky subject, then there are such purely narrowly professional places, for example, some small museums or even important, very respected museums.

they know what is there in russia, for example, yes, in other countries, this is a very popular direction, there are whole sites there, you find a person you like there, a program you like, he shows you that, you are tied to one person, don’t you feel here is the competition between travel agencies in these matters and personalities of author’s tours, well, author’s tours, you understand, who brings the client to them travel company? of us, well, who are they with the frivolous ones, well, as of today, it’s clear that they have recruited 10 people on the internet, well, yes, of course, serious guides like to work with groups of 40 people, it’s absolutely true that all serious guides were once like that

, you don’t know industry, the most serious guides were serious right away, of course not, well, it’s like a gray scheme of work, well, forgive me, but if the guide, who generally went on his own , said something, well, for that there is, i don’t know , a law enforcement officer. no, here colleagues have i mean, aggregation sites of the russian federation and friendly countries, where certain excursions are carried out, where a guide, an individual entrepreneur, registered, pays taxes, we hope, here he gathers a clientele, something like that happens there, i hope, through links to the bank these payments they conduct an excursion, that is, this is real competition for a travel company, but both are tourism businesses, the only question is the means of implementation and

do we need such an aggregator? maybe for control it would be more convenient, everything is like on palms, today we talk a lot about control, i’m listening to my colleagues, i want

to say, probably, that the most important controller is still a tourist who is on an excursion, who can vote with money, why not only with money, but also by your actions. and you say, they stood with a flag, that is , the group is obvious, and that is, once upon a time this was a certain dream for us, so we wanted, once we wanted people to travel, now we are talking about quality, i believe that this progress, great progress, other

the question is that we are already looking at quality, and this is another story, and for this we are there, to organize the sphere of this activity qualitatively, a lot is being done, is being done by our national tourism agency. there is also a website, and where, again, if we talk a lot today about organized tourists, then i can say that a large percentage, especially in pandemic years, showed interest in individual tours, and people are really interested in audio guides today, just last year week we have certified an audio guide along the water route, so work is being carried out here not only in one direction, for example, to certify it with a guided tour.

for spa treatment, agroecotourism, and over the last couple of years industrial tourism has become so popular, but to talk about the historical and cultural heritage of visiting our castles, that is... well, it’s just a component of tourism in general, you can stay in a sanatorium for treatment or recovery and in your free time , that is, the sanatorium offers an excursion into the world, into the world, and so on, but but i i would like to touch upon another aspect a little, that we certify guides and carrier guides on specific routes that can connect some museums; museums already have their own guides who... work specifically on exhibition activities, because museums have

practice as one exhibition changes , another appears, so our guides, aegis, translators, who are certified by us, the national tourism agency, they work along the routes, colleagues, those people who form opinions about our history, regarding the perception of some personalities, facts and events in modern society, they must be under the control of the state, otherwise we know ours are not...

there are no analogues, and the russian federation , the rest, well, i don’t know about they dream, they don’t dream, but they are studying it carefully, they don’t have such a structured market, we could maybe discuss it there. of course, we, as representatives of the industry, think that it is better to simply give a license to someone who has proven that he is a guide and can do everything, rather than structuring according to every direction or excursion there, well, this is already ours, but seryozha, neither in uzbekistan, nor in azerbaijan, nor in the russian federation, such a clear, structured, academic and professional approach to the activities of guides is not close to belarus, i’ll tell you more, much of what we have, they don’t have close to.

we will continue to focus on logistics ; it is a difficult location to build in demand, but so far we have not had such volumes of load on our infrastructure, and we are certainly happy about this, of course we want to build more, of course we want investments, increasing the number of rooms, quality, purchasing new equipment, faster, so that young tour guides who have studied with the national agency gain experience, become more creative and i’ll probably even say seasoned, well, the question again, again we say, we are digesting. no, we

are basically at the ceiling, that is, we are stuck, moreover, i touched on the topic, you are so focused on the guides, and i say again, we have approximately 54%, that is, this is about 2.5 million people somewhere lives in an apartment, that is, and at the same time an apartment in in brest, a day costs 300 rubles, moreover, i really haven’t done any research here, there are companies that are there legally.

for our citizens, it is always a priority, first of all, affordable health treatment, health improvement for our children, and of course, there is a direction towards the development and export of medical and health services, not without this, and this helps to develop, the demand has really been very high lately is high and

in recent years it has only been increasing for medical and health services, here were the figures here: 5 million people, well, in our system i can say that... with an occupancy rate of about 80%, and today it is like this, it is somewhere optimal for health resorts, because it is possible to carry out reconstruction, renovation of the number of rooms, and naturally change the number of rooms somewhere, if there are any then emergency situations with 100% occupancy are increasingly difficult, but this is a short period when this occupancy is there, this is the summer period , 100%, and this is how it is optimal for us, last year the occupancy of the medical and health complex was 84% ​​in total.

systems and there were the highest numbers, here then the ratio, if we take independent implementation without the use of budget financing, 40% were foreign citizens and 60% were our citizens, and this was the optimal percentage, this made it possible to keep an accessible simple everyday question: for what period of time can i book a sanatorium in order to i’ll definitely get into it, because relatively speaking, i definitely won’t pick it up for the weekend, well, today. it’s probably unlikely that you chose such a period, the summer period, well, of course, well, listen, for the new year there is a new year’s period, in the spring spring period, the most popular sanatoriums, i personally tried to do this, our most popular sanatoriums, of course there are conditionally vip rooms, the price there is several times different from the standard ones, of course, you can book, everything

else is not available, people have who are there, who manage to plan to go there on vacation six months in advance, i ask, do they say alone?

covid time, colleagues, you outlined the situation absolutely clearly, before the pandemic we came to a balance, yeah, the pandemic did something that we are not talking about now, twenties, twenties first, first half of the twenty-second year. tourism and sanatorium and hotel infrastructure suffered a catastrophic blow to losses, material and technical base, about this 2 years ago, now

times have changed, how long they will be unknown, that’s what they are talking about, so while there is an opportunity for infrastructure facilities to accumulate resources in order to make renovations, repairs, purchase new bolniology, equipment, deal with personnel, this needs to be used, therefore, answering your primary question, the longer this time.

very, very, very, and we can say that we have a large list there, we have made a big contribution, because some of

these guides are on the ground, that’s what was said earlier, that’s what we prepared, that the state at one time made such a, one might say, strong-willed decision, because in the ninth year we had not even thought about natural resources, no matter how well the average person thought that a natural resource could give us something in belarus, now we are alone one of the most popular excursions. what today you also have to plan the sanatorium in half a year to decide whether you will go on vacation to a sanatorium or you will go on vacation to some other country, the second point regarding our natural assets, it should be noted here that in the last couple of years vacation has become very popular... in tents, that’s why a lot of people even contact us about what areas they can go to to set up these tents and relax in nature,

that is, we note this process of approaching just some kind of infrastructure, they need something minimal, well if this rest in a tent, then, accordingly, well , i don’t know, but some kind of thing, at least conditionally there, so that it’s not far from the history store , it’s commercially profitable, so you probably won’t go with the tents from the excursion program. of course it’s profitable, that is, with us, well, now it’s become popular, yes, if we come back when we have rafting on saturday, yes, then we have jeeping, dinner, we sleep, we are either in a tent or in a hotel, the next day we have a full excursion program in that area, yes, in which, well, we rafted, yes, yes, where we rafted, and this is for belarusians or for foreigners, well, for russians, i work with a belarusian, i’m telling you right away, i’m russian, somehow i really want to meet, yes, but into this story, but well, probably,

there is no infrastructure as such, it doesn’t exist, that is, it is also impossible to put the same tents there, but not to say that our allies did not deal with this issue, or did they just discover this lake for themselves yesterday? no, they began to do this seriously only from the end of twenty-one, that is, when they realized that they had actually been withdrawn from abroad, that the money saved was the same

as money earned; the more people who did not go to turkey, they left the money in russia. okay, you can convince me that it’s cool, wonderful and there’s a lot of interesting things there, but it seems to me that this is from the history of the fact that it doesn’t work the way it should have worked, well, that’s my opinion, again, i’m no one i’m not trying to convince you, why is it possible, for example, with some kind of tourist activities, events, for example, vivobra, some rock festivals that now to be in the brest region, to attract tourism, how profitable is it in general, what...

what's new, let's first show well and efficiently, especially in the year of quality, what we have, every citizen, as you said today, i must visit khatyn, there is a museum of the great patriotic war, that is, some places where there is a brez fortress.

infrastructure or accommodation options, because well, if we talk about the fact that these are family festivals there, after all, people come with their families in cars, back go after you've rested? indeed, there is a serious issue regarding infrastructure and hotels, and we do not keep silent about it, we always voice this problem and talk about it, a lot is being done in this direction, there is a state

program, belarus is hospitable, where there is a third... program regarding infrastructure, but also you need to understand that this is not done within a week, not within a month, that is, each region has a certain area, there are certain guests.

since we still have all the events happening in the summer, well, for us, summer is from april to october, yes, that means, accordingly, we very persistently suggest that the organizers turn to our international experience of pre-prepared tent camps, only well structured, with water, with biotechnological facilities, with ambulance, with the police, with lighting infrastructure, with an additional optional opportunity to earn money on additional food,

a couple of houses, catering can serve almost 500 people, when large organizations hold an event, up to 700 more people line up in tents, and these tents are organized and structured separately.

we again come to the point that we are already talking about quality, but before that we just came, we said look, we have cool nature, we have good people, we have affordable prices, now we are talking about quality, we are talking about these very hotels, about tents, but sergei, maybe there are some laws missing, maybe parliament should pass something, you and i, we already discussed the law today, it’s clear, the law is being adopted, practice is very important here, if, for example, it is not effective or, for example, not economically, then...

from an ideological point of view, which is very important, this is much more important than even from an economic point of view, and from experience only quality, experience from three to seven years, all the same, quality will be the decisive factor, i agree, but if we are talking about the quality of those people with whom we travel and those who tell us, then we probably need to start again with ourselves, get to know our country a little it’s better that no one can ever deceive us, and if we are like this we meet people on the island of tears, then we could object to them, well, you know, as they say, knock and they will open the door for you, sometimes you need to talk about it in order to control them, there were fewer such people, and those who worry about belarus, who really loves his country and says only good things, forgive me, but tourism is

also a certain part of patriotism, you need to praise your country. the whole problem with the war today is not only that ukraine has limited sovereignty. the trouble is that europe has today. on in my opinion, limited sovereignty, for us the sco is an alternative platform, a global one, which will participate in the formation of a new world, a multipolar world, we need to finally put a barrier for the west so that their premium conditions end once and for all. the west is not going to end the fight for belarus, because we have strategic importance in order to weaken russia, it won’t work outwardly, so we need to do it from the inside through the fifth column, which has settled.
