of course, and certainly the most striking and responsible event that will take place this year. this is the second game of the cis countries that will be held with us from the fourth to the fifteenth of august. uh, the concept assumes that they will be held in all regions of our country. uh, so we would like to show. eh, all the beauty of our cities is hospitality, e belarusian belarusian citizens. e, love for sports, and much that is being done in our country for the development of sports infrastructure for sports conditions, as well as athletes, young professional athletes, and mass sports. on the one side. it seems that august is still far away, but still, maybe already with the list of participants, we are starting to decide who we are waiting for to visit. what countries? well, the name itself, the authors of the game of the cis countries, assume the participation of the participating countries, uh, well, besides this, the

peculiarity of these competitions will be that according to the regulations , they have the right to accept and, let's say, countries that have expressed a desire. yes, so we are all happy we are not limited and and the format of these games it will be open. that's why, well, the present moment, as it were, 22 sports are defined. uh determined sports grounds sports facilities where they will be held. eh, work - this has already been carried out by belarusians for more than a year. competitions are waiting for us, where will we go, well, first of all, in these conditions. we have a very good relationship uh hmm with the russian federation uh and in all sports. uh, for at least 47 emotional teams that are cultivated in our country, uh, the ministry of sports in we have established excellent relationships. uh, open we participate in

open competitions, championships, cups , international competitions on the territory of the russian federation a. so russian athletes take part in e -competitions on the territory of the republic of belarus in our open championships and international competitions. last year there were more than 500 of them, and this year we have uh, the joint calendar suggests even more. these are more than 800 joint events that we did it turns out that our athletes do not sit still there, where the indicators realize their potential, their capabilities. this is why i say that, unfortunately, as politicians usually like to say sports in it, alas, the practice of the last decade, probably, shows that this rule does not work, this rule does not work. but you know, uh, the other way around to some extent. uh, i compete even with the same russian athletes. we know what

level in the sports of the individual nor in the individual in many there are most of the species sports, which are very tall russian athletes are top and we have a great opportunity to look at the nearest reserve of national teams and compete. well, i will say by the heat, they are some in some sports conditionally martial arts. there's wrestling and freestyle yes or there's rhythmic gymnastics or or something like swimming. there are a few of them, a lot of them, in fact, these sports, even here the average level is the level of competition. it is somewhere even higher than at the european championships and maybe even the world championships, therefore enough competition. e, serious, and you shouldn’t relax here either, and therefore we are seriously preparing and trying to show a decent result. our athletes are also pleased with national records. this is how you maintain this morale, how you pull up on new ones. well, firstly, of

course, athletes and coaches require some kind of support, and on this, in this regard, we have adopted a series, well, a regulatory legal act has been adopted. this is the decree of the president of the republic of belarus on support measures. e, means by measures to support achievements in sports. e, which means that e, means, e takes into account e performance at e russian competitions in the republic of belarus open in our country, including e, stimulates e, means certain performance and setting national records. but it is also a financial incentive. er, there are other types of incentives. that is, in this way. well, life does not stop and i think, our athletes, they will feel this support, in principle, always athletes. they were and are such with a rod. do they remain that this morale of the teams is absolutely there. i'll tell you that, let

's just say, maybe those sports that we thought that maybe, they are still in some sort of recession, on the contrary, when competing, we see that they seem to have gained confidence in yourself a glint in the eyes and uh, athletes. they believed themselves that they could not perform. uh, at the highest level, but maybe i will bring academic rowing there too , where we have at open international competitions. in moscow , the moscow regatta showed a number of good results in both swimming and fencing, where we have been waiting for a long time and i must say. we already have from the first success at e, the cup of russia where are our sportswomen? uh, something took second place. well, where is the level of competition in russia, we know very serious how many olympic champions and the world are prepared, so this is all confidence. there is a village of spirit, we have already understood that enough. is

there enough material and technical base of such an international level, where you will learn for the guys to train for the last. uh, probably 25 years old. we have a lot of success in this area. we have a large number of excellent sports facilities, both in the city of minsk and in the regions of our country. therefore, every year we have sports facilities, both in regional centers and in districts, so we have no questions with the sports base. no. you know, in 1914 we hosted major events, including the ice hockey world championship and the second european games, so we are ready to host competitions of any level. thank you very much for your questions the program answered alexander baraulya, deputy minister of sports and tourism of belarus, as a result of her analysis of the main events of this week in an informational analytical program. at& the main broadcast of all projects of our tv channel is on the website www.24.by

as well as in social networks. i'm sorry to you. all the best. program postscript we are visiting today irina voronovich, director of the department of tourism of the ministry of sports and tourism of belarus and dmitry morozov director of the national tourism agency from january 1 the tourism industry lives according to new rules , a new law on tourism has come into force, which has changed dramatically, how we feel these changes. here, for you to note. and probably the most important thing is, of course,

the issues of outbound tourism, but, because in the twentieth year, during the pandemic, we faced the problem that our tourists were left, in fact, without a guarantee and people who were vacationing abroad called and asked how to get back. in general, there were quite a lot of problems, so the new law provides for three options, guarantees, these are a bank guarantee, insurance guarantees and the creation of a fund that will also generally provide, but i don’t know, will cover any expenses or unforeseen situations if tourists have to travel abroad. this is one of the most such major innovations of the law and behold. also a whole month. in general, we accompany, as ours and tour operators , people who work in this area and, accordingly, people who, in general, are going to travel, because from the first of january without fail of these e guarantees, because they don't

have to be three. rather, the variability of any of these options is at the choice of the tour operator. and we can say that for the past month, in principle, probably more of a priority, of course, is the creation of funds, that is, some kind of coalition is gathering. just a few conditionally tour operators at least ten. there must be a fund. and now people unite to create this fund, and here it is very interesting that this fund will work if events develop favorably. in general, in subsequent themselves here is a company of tour operators who will unite in one fund will be able to make this money. maybe in the future for some kind of marketing or something else. and have the tour packages themselves risen in price in connection with this, with these innovations, and the rise in price should be from, for example, bank guarantees or insurance, because we all know that even if we buy medical insurance, and yes we we pay for it, so we can understand that even if the price of the ticket

goes up, it’s in the coefficient approximately plus or minus like e in medical insurance, because it also depends on ora and this country and on the number of days. that is, there is also a billing, but this is not the money that could scare tourists, that is, this is an affordable time. we have already talked about outbound tourism. and for sure after the twentieth year of the pandemic, everything changed and the direction. after all, the preferred destinations have also changed. where belarusians fly most of all now, where they go, which countries, maybe some new destinations have appeared, if we are talking about foreign tourism, then, in principle, the question here is probably not changed, that is, those countries that, in principle, worked during the pandemic. this is a well-known direction, which is interesting for belarusians, where there is, and the sea of ​​rest. yes , a beach holiday the sun is egypt. this is turkey , but certainly. there is a direction that is more distant somewhere with transfers, these are

asian directions, but we must not forget the russian federation, which also has a sea, and in the summer our tourists, as far as we are concerned, go to us. yes of course they go and continue the topic of innovations in the law of tourism it is worth noting that in it introduced some new terms regarding. just the same business of domestic inbound tourism, such as tourist information centers, just the national agency maintains registers of these new and, uh, existing tourist information centers. also separately, but the concept is spelled out. e of the audio guide, that is, this year , for the first time, the certification of audio guides begins . they are also definitely a band-aid, but in fact, yes, that is, applications for certification of new audio-e, guides of accompanying materials will now accumulate. this is really also such a voluminous important and new segment. and many companies use them in their work. moreover, when it comes to

exotic languages, it is not always possible to find guides who speak chinese . right now, china is slowly opening up. therefore, recently, of course, in addition to those chinese who study with us, they live. eh, we didn’t see any tourists, but, in principle, we can expect it in the near future. so, over the past year, guests from the russian federation have pleased, first of all, different guests, of course. here it seemed, uh, the opening of the border. yes , there is no need to do these yes covid documents, and, accordingly , the presence of visa-free guests from neighboring republics is noticeable, of course. but of course, in most cases, these are not tourists. i mean, these are people who go on their own kind of, uh, family economic business trip. well, here tourists, of course, are also

present among them, but er, if earlier, but it was possible to accurately count them thanks to the presence of a tourist voucher. yes, that is , those who took from tourist a package of a number of services, well, now, in fact, there is no such requirement, so the total number of visitors, the total number of entrants. yes, that is, the state border committee sees these statistics will soon be seen in the white stat. how many of us visit or from these countries, of course, there is an economic effect. well, we understand with you that not all of these visitors are tourists. from more distant countries, of course, statistics will also show who exactly flew to us, but uh, the number of flights that we now have, of course, seriously limits the data, and the flow of tourists, but with such limited flights and the price of air travel. well, it has increased quite seriously, so, of course, in the

near future, the russian federation, the cis countries, these are our main target markets, but with an eye on yes, what can we offer, what we will surprise here, of course, under each market. we must offer ours. for example, most of the guests are from the russian federation and the country. the cis must understand here that the regions of the russian federation are very different, that is. and here, for example, recently with kuzbass. we talked. it is precisely on this topic that our own ideas about the needs of tourists or a new region happen. they may not quite match their own vision. that is. well, here, we have, of course, a well-known brand, the sanatorium is well, somehow a stereotype, if the region is industrial, then that’s it, sanitation, the sanatorium offers, to which they rightly notice that we are very interested. uh, this architectural cultural component of medieval architecture, what is missing, why before, uh, they flew to eastern well, in principle, and to western europe, to the same czech republic, which were very popular, but here we can just

offer a bright assortment, and already variable. that is, this is not only the world of nesvizh traditionally. yes, because for example, the lida castle is beautiful, combined with lida beer just in such a tourist kit. uh, interesting for those who have already been there and there, and there are a number of other industrial enterprises there, the same roman food concentrates with their wonderful corn sticks for children, but just right. well, here, of course, more for domestic tourists. ah, i am very pleased with the development of such an alternative cluster in the form of a scythe weapon. now they are popular recently, the last stage was completed, that is, they were opened several years ago, but now the halls are on the second floor of kosovo. the castle already pleases tourists in full, uh, and this cluster, it is in great demand. and if we are talking about russian tourists, it is also desirable

to show them. here is such an integral architectural complex, so that here it is in the completed form is then perceived very well. if the ruzhans are still in the process, then kosovo in this regard, of course, is naturally criticized for the fact that yes there is architecture, we are restoring castles, but there are not enough interactive programs that our museums work? well, let's say the old fashioned way. yes, there is not enough interactive. but you know , we must not forget here. and this boardroom is like aggregorism. and even if we are talking about tourists from the russian federation, we are boldly proud today that we are leaders in agra tourism and really russians to us comes not only to relax, but then, they call us or ask us to come so that we can demonstrate, share our experience and we are invited to master classes to participate in the performance, and here our agro-ecotourism is really in the republic. and this unique one fills a niche, because it is not only a vacation, but somewhere in the outback of belarus in

unity with nature. well, indeed, each greek estate is different and tries to hold some kind of master class, and some kind of active rest, because it also unites in cluster system, because every farmstead is different, so you can have one day, for example, there, i don't know, bake bread to see our traditions. here is the region where you are, and in another huge manor you can get acquainted with straw weaving, for example, there is a game of the manor, where music evenings are held. eh, games or singing, so here i would not say that we lack interactive activities, on the contrary, there are a lot of some emotional programs. ah, and today domestic tourism has sparkled with completely different colors, and we all feel that that people have begun to travel, and according to statistics we see belarusians here in our direction, but, probably for us it is interesting, and those events and activities that take place in a particular region. they are also such a point of

attraction, so that tourists come to get acquainted with several such points of attraction, where they really go traditionally. well , if we talk about the twenty-second year, then indeed the slavic bazaar. that is, quite the same, probably, yes, the brand, and then we had the call of polissya yes, there were also a huge number of people in alaska, probably, there have never been such a number of people this year we are preparing. we'll have motel primacies. yes, it's a wonderful festival. well , this is what, for example, immediately comes to mind now, but we actually have a lot of event events and which are such points where i would like to go to see and buy something, because every time you come to that or another corner of our belarus understands that even the products are different each region there, if we'll take it deep, yes, it 's the famous cherry festival. i would also add about

interactive. in fact, they do not always just know where to look, where to order, because museums have developed a very interesting program with a palette from the stone age, the site of a primitive man in yuryevichi. e to uh, master classes of the most, uh, different national historical, and the museum offers interesting programs up to the point that you can hollow out the boat yourself literally over the past year or two there, very much attention has been paid, also to inclusive tourism. that is, here there is also a very large part of the attention for children, which, in general, are limited in their own kind. opportunities, just the same, museums also work in this direction and make special excursions. if i can’t see myself, then i can touch objects and tell you if there are some other nuances. in health, then, taking into account these nuances, therefore, work has really been carried out on domestic tourism and is being carried out seriously. here we often

release very often when forming tourist routes, and moreover, this phenomenally inexpensive craft houses offer very interesting workshops and practically they are in all areas. that is, you can always find a point where you can provide tourists with such a master class, which is actually inexpensive, but gives emotions. e very bright. that is, it is in practice working with foreign groups with children's groups. really very cool. and infrastructure. for this, everything is there. the main thing is simply to take this possibility into account when planning. if the traveler, with regard to domestic tourism travels independently, how should he write this program correctly? where to apply? where to look here to see everything, what you are talking about, because as a rule. well, this is a sightseeing tour, however, let's go and see, this is if through a travel

agency you are completely from point a to point b. everything is thought out, where you can have a bite to eat, what to visit, but dmitry viktorovich already touched on the topic today, that the national tourism agency has developed a router, many of our cities are already making their own e, mobile applications, on which you can also download it yourself to come to the city, for example, to grodno, but this mobile application has already been tested enough and, in general, take a walk, look, sit, and recently with the national academy of sciences. yes, uh, communicated yes circle a very interesting application, which is also really every cultural object. uh, if we are talking about cultural and educational, tourism, you can easily open it yourself, you can listen to and read the audio, that is, many even like to travel individually, so that there is no such

situation to stop there, and master the pace, because it is not always comfortable when there are people around you, and therefore, especially during the pandemic period. this is our individual tourism. he really came to some leading positions on the site belarus.travel router, we are finalizing this year. we want to come to the point where you can download yourself, in fact. here's a little reminder of your trip. here, according to the given criteria , plan the route, and pull it out in pdf format, well, so that it can be in electronic form and printed out. this is a foreign guest, and who will not have a place to communicate in mobile, yes, and already prepare such a trip, such as this support for such an individual guide, and move along maybe you were told that the kosovo castle is completely ready to receive visitors, which is still on the stage can be semi-readiness, because, well, you must admit that belarus is not a very big country and all such bright tourist sites, and local residents

visit in a fairly short time. what else look at close attention, we keep the palace of blues in the dwellings, that is, this is also such a good cluster already, if we move east, and a good bunch turns out, bobruisk is a red coast, and the dwelling, that is, there really is, and the objects are strong complementary, and in the plans we are developing a separate section of the excursion, but along this route, because these objects are affected, but more like there is a travel guide , yes, an overview of the search tour, but i want to take it all into a single route, because in fact the quality is very the product turns out, and plus causes. well, here it is presented differently. and again, the castle cream cluster. gosh, that is, there is completely different. there is a m-m concept of museumification. right now, a new stage of golshanakh is beginning. uh, this is an exhibit of the ruins. uh, without restoring them. that is, if we see a

complete restoration in the lida castle in the world and in nesvizh, but a monument, then here , given the high degree of destruction, there is conservation with partial restoration. and this is what it really is approach, when people find themselves in a completely unusual e space, that is, with metal structures around the ruins of the castle, they allow you to take a look at the ruins themselves and the area around. that is, it is unusual for both children and adults, and at the same time you find yourself in some kind of already completed simple space in the tower in the basement, which is very interesting. well, here, uh, again, in a crooked way, but they opened the first watchtower in belarus, a medieval wooden one on the st. george mountains. where does the great view come from? to the castle ruins to the surrounding area in the neighborhood and it is also very pleasant, in general, to observe how actively restoration and conservation work is going on. so this is also the case, but i would also add here that, uh,

we have pilot projects in each region and remember the 22nd year of historical memory. that's right, the gomel region has already completed the pilot for its project for historical memory, and such a monument as that of varnish, of course, also deserves a visit. and i think that belarus is probably, and how important is it for tourism with its strong places. eh, like khatyn, which everyone knows. today we already have this memory of nikolai already. uh, the place of attraction of our memory where we, uh, experience very strong feelings for a long time, but devotion to our family. yes, strange, the cis and russia, yes, yes, important and interesting. today dmitry viktorovich also called. red coast, yes, camp for children, where, in general, there is also such a strong emotional connection with our ancestors, therefore, whatever area we take, each area tries today to surprise with its

zest and prepare something so that for tourists, of course, it was interesting. this is not only some kind of archaeological or cultural object, but also, what foreigners love, belarus, for example, our nature. and we have such tours, there are alman swamps. yelnya , uh, where they don't use it, yes, i really want popularity more than popularity. and this is also our highlight, because in no other direction. well, in general, such tourist trips. no, as it seems to you, how active and whether it is enough to promote such tourist and cultural values ​​within our country, after all it is important that it be designed specifically for young people. moreover, we have the current year of creation. and this includes the education of our youth. there is still such a thing. acceptance of our cultural values, you know, is indeed a very topical issue, because today we already touched upon the fact that a lot of attention was paid to domestic tourism, and it is felt that it

won with other bright colors last year. we had a pilot project specifically for school subsidies. when, within the framework of academic disciplines. ah, the whole school class together with the teacher visited our well-known objects of various types of tourism. naturally, if this is history, it means some historical museum objects. there within literature. can the museum of our famous read. yes, and the pilot project proved to be very positive for itself. this is a continuation. this practice continues today. eh, i think, maybe even in your children you can see that once every six months, without fail, and in any of the disciplines, er, such trips are organized. for children on purpose, probably, no one will argue that it is very important, and when traveling, a competent and involved enthusiastic guide himself, as guides are now being trained, of course, because you will agree, you can tell the same story. yes

, it can be very exciting. or you can just read a lecture. it is very important when the guide understands how we cook. yes, it works. well, in fact, here, of course, it is desirable to have basic training already behind you. it's true. well, for this, the history department is just right. actually, which i once finished, and well, there are courses for guides. uh, based on the national tourism agency, both evening and daytime, and last quite a long time. this is a program for the academic year, in fact, and the groups are small. this is usually up to 16.7 people with a rich, and a program with the practice of conducting, they go to all these objects. well, not everything, but training, that is, it is impossible to cover everything at the exits. eh, everyone should prepare to defend at least one e excursion. it's really big labor to qualitatively prepare to indicate that the review of the excursion is the

most common. but yes, because many objects are all heterogeneous and they need to be combined into one, logically linked contradictory story, therefore, uh, of course. eh, this is a serious curriculum, each guide writes to his own taste, then the very program in the national tourism agency has a certain list. ah, the excursion, they are stably fixed, there is a certain text and a guide. it doesn't mean that you i went to any country in belarus and that’s all, you know, and told, that is, the guide will test on a specific topic and within the framework of this topic he leads a tour. today, by the way, in the new law we also control the wine rule that a person without attestation without a badge has no right to conduct a tour. and what does the certification of presence in the badge mean? this indicates that he is certified for a specific excursion, but if he is

certified, for example, minsk world or minsk overview or, for example, that is, each guide has a small specific the site is small. it can and 10 excursion these get up. it already depends on the tour guide. as far as he is a professional, he is a beginner always starts with one excursion. and then already. and here is the taste and likes and dislikes and what kind of looks observes that for a tourist it is interesting and therefore one thing is preparation and another thing is certification. here is the national tourism agency. they just deal with this issue today, they test it, but they do monitoring and visit the excursion , because this is a test purchase. yes very important, because what kind of information in general. it is sold to tourists both by our and foreign tourists who come here, it is very important that the role and historical memory and the reality of some cultural facts are not distorted. we shape the image of our country.
