my wonderful forest , of course, everything is different, because i am his random line, and for nature it can be equivalent to the birth of a person and a leaf, nature pulled me closer and closer, that is , it turns out, like the call of woodland, it didn’t click. always people all my roots are from here and through my wife’s line, they are all here, i am tied to this land.

simply an invaluable gift from god and our ancestors, i remember when, at the dawn of my work as president, we had huge problems with these parks in the sense that not only belarusians, but not only our neighbors, but everyone from distant countries flocked here to grab a piece of this or that park, build something there, even some built, but within... a year we removed everything from these reserve parks, keeping in mind that our people, our neighbors, anyone should be there, but it was forbidden to relax, to divide reserves and parks. separately, the president mentioned the work of 6,000 farmers, thanks to which the enterprise’s managers in many areas of agricultural production became leaders in the republic, and the work of the employees of the department of humanitarian affairs was also noted. thousands of charitable

initiatives and socially significant projects are their merit. belarusian rowing confirms his high class even in view of the discriminatory conditions of the olympic games in... evgeniy zolotoy deservedly won a ticket to the final race. on august 3, belarus will compete for olympic medals as one of the favorites. in his semi-final, our athlete came second at a distance of 2,000 m, losing only to the german athlete oliver zeidler. the harvesting campaign continues in belarus: the bread loaf is growing larger every day. as of today, it amounted to 5,119,000 tons of grain, including rabs. flush brest and minsk are coming. region, then the grodno region, here, by the way, there is the highest yield, half a million in the bins of the gomel and mogilev regions, 365,500 tons of new harvest accounted for the vitebsk region, and this is five times more compared to the same period last year. zimbabwe

needs belarusian technologies, knowledge and skills of specialists, as well as a number of goods in demand on the market. during the visit to the african country, representatives of the belarusian women's union discussed key initiatives. cooperation with the country's first lady axilia monanagova received support in promoting cooperation from representatives of the women's movement in zimbabwe. specific projects were also discussed during the women's forum, where the most active ladies representing different economic and humanitarian spheres gathered. teaching students is one of the agreements. in zimbabwe , the tourism business is actively developing, there is great interest in belarusian cosmetics, textiles and electrical products in general, as well as in household appliances. cars and refrigerators and other belarusian goods for equipment hotels. a new line for processing rapeseed seeds was opened in the minsk region. the mine plant was erected in 7 months on the territory of the lagoisky agricultural complex, its capacity is 1,200 kg/hour. all processes are automated,

including the uninterrupted supply of raw materials. under a special microclimate, the black gold of the fields is stored in a warehouse, then enters the production workshops. an important condition for starting rabbet into processing is a humidity level of no more than seven. and seed oil content over 40%. the line is equipped with a laboratory where they control the quality of raw materials, both at the start and finished product. mini-enterprises with waste-free production. while oil is being produced there for technical purposes, in the future they will start producing products for the food industry and processing soybeans. from september 30 to october 5, open children's delphic games will be held in kyrgyzstan. young talents from lic countries will take part in creative competitions. aged from 7 to 17 years. competitions will be held in such nominations as piano, violin, folk pop singing, fine arts, folk crafts, even djs and singers with gestural facial expressions. the belarusian team will include one participant in each nomination. applicants

are selected by a professional jury. good evening, the talk show is essentially, today we will talk about how the tourism industry of belarus is doing, about guides and more. our studio has competent people who know absolutely everything about this area, but if you are interested in something, you can. to become participants in our program, there is a qr code here at the bottom of the screen, please point your smartphone screen at it and ask your questions during the youtube broadcast, well, in the right corner of the telegram channel, there is a link to it, you can find out more opinions of kirill and i and our guests there, let's start,

as always, kirill kazakov and alena syrova are with you, good evening, well, look, ours journalist... the idea of ​​national tourism has changed literally in the last year and a half, well, i’m personally speaking 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 countries, so we are looking at how our - well, the industry of enterprises, restaurant business, cafes is trying to mimic everything to please everyone, we are looking at how the center of the city of minsk is changing, and we with...

now it is used in cities for russians, i’ll tell you a story that happened to me quite recently, in fact, we just started looking to understand how... how does this industry work 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 is only an art museum and a cat museum. i have a question: who controls our guides, how do they choose certain locations to go so far...

you just asked, who controls and regulates the activities of tour guides? no, why? it seems to me that some of our locations do not work 100%, with regards to the troitsky suburb, maybe we are not using them fully, maybe someone should, for example, write programs so that tourists come, the same thing troitsky suburb, or, as we are now looking at, the same vivobraslov attracts a lot of people to one area, maybe some kind of programs are needed for this, maybe... well, historically it happened this way, i

think dmitry viktorovich will develop the topic more broadly, the main locations developed naturally, that is, the demand wave of this demand gave rise to supply, sometimes it went a little differently when interested specialists or commercial companies created. and tried a new product to 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 there are some additional attractions, optional extras from restaurants, additional museums, animation programs and anything else, accordingly this question , it is quite general, it needs to be analyzed, probably into details, i would probably be better off trying to talk about something that did not happen.

the fund is not very large, and i am sure that i will not i can give the exact figures 54% or 57, but

i am sure that at least half are accommodated in so-called apartments or private apartments, then tourists, without experiencing problems with the internet possible services, yandex taxi, world map, russian language, they have fun on their own and walk around our city at their convenience, of course, including booking excursions via the internet and interacting directly with tour guides. that’s what’s fashionable, what ’s promoted, what’s branded, that’s what they use. well, this is what kirill is talking about, that what is fashionable and what is promoted does not always coincide, as i understand it, with what we really want to show, from the best side, from the best side of us, passion, unfortunately, yes, and this does not apply only belarus, in general, probably, in principle, our entire planet, because tourists want all the brightest.

on the internet you can order something for yourself, look, and at the same time it’s not entirely correct, i may, here’s another question, maybe again i don’t think so, well, let’s figure out how it should be and... how is now established in the country for excursions, in our national agency we have 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, together with the institute of history, academy of sciences, monitoring these texts to identify any

already accumulated inconsistencies, they wrote in different years, respectively, and we carry out annual work on... that people need something, something bright, something, something that they can get quickly, then, that they can, well, roughly speaking, google it, if we are now taking a russian tourist, and relatively speaking, i am exaggerating what we are talking about, i have now decided that i can give tours of minsk, i say on my instagram that guys, whoever wants,

let me give you a tour of minsk, and i also have an education as a historian, i know how to communicate with people, but people come on a tour and i start showing them the city , i don’t know the village, the castle, and so on, from the point of view from which i consider it necessary, i do not consult with either you or from the ministry of sports not with anyone else in this, in general, the question is that irina nikolaevna is happening who? now controls guides, including those who have not passed registration, who do not have licenses, they can be checked, on january 1 , 2023, a new law came into force, which spells out in black and white how the work of guides, translators and guides is carried out, therefore

every citizen living in the republic of belarus understands and is interested in this topic, suddenly he wanted

a really very important point, throughout the entire twenty-third year they really continued monitoring is carried out, they are carried out not only in the city of minsk, they are carried out throughout the republic of belarus, then what are you saying wrong, well, fortunately i was lucky, they don’t talk about this often, but to be honest, they don’t talk about it at all, i use those controls texts that dmitry viktorovich has already mentioned, and the information in them is clear and verified. it’s quite possible, that’s why, look, here philip says that all over the world, strictly speaking, the interest is not at all in what the states want to show, well, i, for example, i remember, there are 10-15, i said that in every country the national tourist interests would like to reveal those objects that are not so widely branded and where mass

tourists do not go, look, peter the criminal, this is so quite popular. an excursion that 15 years ago in st. petersburg was very, well, promoted, this is understandable, not what the russian state and the mayor of st. petersburg want to show, but people came and ordered, in general, we may have such a story , well, either only texts that you wrote, look, now you can write the original text of the minsk-criminal excursion, and come to the certification with the control text and a technological map of how you are going to lead there through serebryanka, chezhovka, and shabany.

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 guides, aegis-translators will be only you, or there is the history of the capital's punch,

what is happening within 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 from entertainment, these are elements of educational ideological work, and we today, in fact , the corresponding law has been adopted and we are urgently putting things in order here with other measures, because for a long time many questions were raised and one could hear in our independence square, where the lenin monument is, that this should be demolished, they are standing here.

all sorts of different rags of everything else with elements of glorification of all this, this also happened and this is also being exaggerated today in underground topics, we see that such elements and facts... exist, so what am i talking about? today this issue is under the control of the state, yes, we can accept the appropriate instructions, we can read the text, but in people’s heads, whether we will get into the heads of these guides who are doing the excursions, no, so this issue needs to be resolved systematically at the level of training professional guides, then for example, what the history department of bsu and the corresponding department are doing now, only there we can solve it systematically, now we are hitting our tails, we are accepting instructions, we are accepting documents that, yes, may bring some effect, but not one hundred percent for us. guarantees that this person, whom we talked about at the beginning of the program, will say what actually happened, what is in the interests of the state, well then there is no need to control when he is a convinced person of ours,

a supporter of the belarusian state and knows like 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, the state, unfortunately, well, we know , so historically it happened, constantly fighting there based on... certain historical features, but in israel in israel, that’s who has been with israeli tour guides or in israel, encountered, communicated, every israeli there is young, visited the vosvenets, and it was not the school that brought him there and not the state, but his family, because there is a clear understanding in israeli society that if you don’t go and see what will happen to the jews if they don’t respect their history, what will happen to him, that’s why today they all and...

and that’s what we’re doing, we start, the most important thing is where personnel decides everything, from training those people who will do this professionally, teach history in schools, lead excursions. irina, here we are talking, and in general, in principle, a guide and organizing excursions, organizing, say, trips around minsk for foreigners, is this a profitable story now? well, in belarus, yes, of course, these are the most commercially justified directions, is this the world of nesvesh-brest? no, look, we have a lot, let’s take polotsk.

a wonderful country called you know, i actually was in one azerbaijan, any trip there, in any case, it somehow affects the heroic story, i’m stupid, we’re going, for example, to a castle, we stopped in khatyn, it’s like mandatory story, you can't buy, for example, a trip to the world without going to khatyn, well, look, i’ll even tell you about polotsk, but here we are from mensk, as well as not only from minsk, but from the surrounding area, if we go to polotsk, then you have st. sophia cathedral, efrosen

of polotsk, on ... the bear with oranges, although the berezinsky nature 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 this is how the program turns out, on the one hand, we and we looked at the history and how it is a domestic drink we tasted it, and we are colleagues, a discussion, because 90% of tour guides, people who communicate with tourists, are people, firstly, creative, intellectually developed, and

most importantly, they are those who love their country and know its history and geography, an internal desire, whatever you like, through a text motive, in a comparative analysis, even when we take russian or belarusian tourists there abroad, to show that this is how it is here, and here we have the best, it’s unique here , and this is unique, in principle a person who works as a tour guide, he cannot help but love his homeland, yes, he certainly does.

visually organized people with some kind of flag, the person indicating was a guide, i can’t say this, i didn’t remember, unfortunately, yes, but colleagues, if there is an excursion in the city, the guide must have a sample badge issued by a national agency, where the name is written , last name, maybe even some kind of registered number, by which you can, if not catch him by the hand, then at least identify him, contact him, and if he if you liked it, then find it on the internet and use its services. ekaterina, how many organized excursions do you conduct with us, for example, over the weekend, it’s easy to understand this flow that comes to us, and if we are talking to you about the season, in this case summer, which means this is the season, it could be from three to five excursions per day, for example, and how many people are usually on this excursion, just to understand, it can be individual tourists, for example, one or two people, it can be an organized group, maximum 60-70 man, what interests

visitors again? well, at least in minsk, which is what is most interesting, and you mean the main locations that are interesting, well , let’s say yes, the main locations, that is, they come, you show them what, let’s say, then, probably, we let's start with the troit suburb. i would also like to ask a counter question, why did it seem to you that the troitsky suburb is so not in demand, i will indicate, because in fact, to be honest, when studying the program, for example, of events in the city of minsk, i see everywhere except the troitsky suburb, in the troitsky suburb, if we now start with just everyday issues, not in the program, and discuss what, where to go in the troitsky subject, then there are such purely narrow professional places, for example, what - small museums or even important, very respected museums, but... there is nothing to do there except take pictures, and there is a tax office there, what’s bad about taking pictures? there are no questions, but in the same upper, upper city there are evenings at the town hall, some musical things, a lot of cafes, restaurants, the rakovsky suburb acquired a theater courtyard this year, that is

, people can move around and get to some locations where events are going on, i don’t agree with you, maybe it’s not worth it, maybe there really is a place in the city , where you can quietly sit on a bench and enjoy the old one. we are talking about either a classic sightseeing tour of the city, which does not involve visiting museums, attractions that require purchasing a ticket to enter, a sightseeing tour a city tour should allow you to see exactly the city of minsk, and only then we can always recommend advising our guest on how to properly organize... his free time, speaking about the objects that are located on the territory of the troitsky suburb, after all, even if not the most preserved , but this is the oldest corner of our city, there are quite a lot of interesting buildings and structures in it, with a very rich history, it’s just possible

that no one has told you about it yet, by the way, irin, a question that’s so popular, but in recent times several years of directions as author's tours, that is, a subjective view of talented creative people.

started the topic, it concerns technology, taxes, projected flows, that is, this is a more narrowly pra, but guys, all trade, it happens on the phone, and those who give the client, be it a belarusian or a russian, an easy online payment solution through own november, of course, of course, he wins, and aggregation is advancing at a powerful pace on the tourism business, this is a fact, in the russian federation and here, everything is like that we need our own aggregator.

the chief controller is, after all, a tourist who is on an excursion, who can inform why not only with money, but also with his own.

we were driving, now we are talking about quality, i believe that this is progress, great progress, another 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 efficiently, a lot is being done, is done by the national tourism agency, we have... and a website, and where again, if we today we talk a lot about organized tourists, then i can say that a large percentage, especially during the pandemic years, showed interest in individual tours, and people are really interested in audio guides today, just last week we had an audio guide certified along the route water, so work here is carried out not only in one direction, for example, to certify tour guides...

but we also certify tour guides and

carrier guides on specific routes that can connect some museums, in museums already have their own guides who work specifically on exhibition activities, because in museums there is a practice of changing one exhibition, another appears, so our guides, aegis, translators, who are certified by us, the national tourism agency, and they work according to routes.

no, and the russian federation, the rest, they, well, i don’t know about they dream, they don’t dream, but they study carefully, they don’t have such a structured market, we could maybe discuss there, we, of course, how it seems to industry representatives 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 to structure each direction or excursion, but this is ours, but in uzbekistan, neither in azerbaijan, nor in the russian federation is it so clear..

if a year and a half ago we were talking about how to attract tourists to our country, how great it was that they came, now we are starting to talk about quality, but actually, what kind of guides are, where are good excursions. where are the good locations? philip, you said 5 million people are coming from russia, 5 million. and what is the maximum ideal level of tourists in our country, so the volume you mean, well, russia or everyone in general, that’s how many we can receive, first of all, we have enough for this. they asked a serious question, i i’ll try to answer structurally, the fact is that of course

there is no limit to perfection and it seems that the more the better, but in principle on our planet it is believed that 75-80% of the load.

and 10 can be porous, and besides russian tourists? no, we are basically at the ceiling, that is, we are up against it, moreover, i touched on the topic of lip motives, you kept looking at the guides, and i say again, we have approximately 54%, that is, 2.5 million people live somewhere in apartments, that is , in private ones, and at the same time an apartment in brest costs a day 300 rub. i’ll tell you moreover, i really haven’t done any research here, there are companies that operate there legally and illegally. they accumulate hundreds of apartments and rent them out as aggregators, as a management company, without paying taxes, as a legal entity, this is generally a separate thing, but without them we cannot cope with the flow anyway, so of course, in general, our country needs certain investments and development, but byasgluzdova doesn’t need to do all this either, because we can’t predict whether there will be such a volume

of flow in 2 or 3 years, we can set up just then to engage in cannibalism, each other has these objects will be pirated as they are now. well, i’m saying yes, well, look aleksandryevich, we’re just that ’s why i’m asking the question, we have enough, we won’t have enough , we won’t digest, we won’t digest, because again, from the outside, when you’re not trying to get into a sanatorium, for example, in belarus, when you start to open a website, busy, busy , a week later, busy, you get the feeling that a belarusian can’t get into a sanatorium and that’s it , well, for example, i want to, you know, as they tell you, for example, to a sanatorium somewhere near minsk for 2 days which weekend?

but this is a small period when this occupancy rate is there, this is the summer period , one hundred percent, and this is how it is optimal for us, last year the occupancy rate of the medical and health complex was 84%, in total in the country we have 287 facilities with 60,000 beds, with with an average annual occupancy rate of 80%, we provide sanatorium-resort treatment and

recreation for more than 1,400 people , including the five who come, and that’s all we have, these are all citizens, including our guests. as for foreign citizens, if we take the optimal ratio, we probably had it in 2019, it was the most successful pre-pandemic year for our system, there were the highest numbers, that’s the ratio, if we take independent implementation, without using the budget financing, 40% were foreign citizens and 60% were our citizens, and this was the optimal percentage, this made it possible to maintain those available to ours. it’s 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, the most popular sanatoriums, so i

personally tried to do this, ours are the most popular sanatoriums, of course there are conditionally vip rooms, which there the price differs several times from the standard ones, of course, you can book, everything else is not, the people who are there, who manage to plan to go there on vacation for six months, i ask, only they say. the russians are not ours, and now can i ask you a rhetorical question, why is it worth like turkey? ask, what did you want? well, here are two questions, how to get there, why is it so expensive, it’s clear, well, the one who values ​​his health, he plans his own, this is marketing begins, marketing, he plans his vacation in advance and naturally he plans, they said that planning is not noble here year, not for six months, i was talking about market planning,

colleagues outlined the situation absolutely clearly, before the pandemic we came to a balance, the pandemic did something that we are not talking about now,

the twenties, twenty-first, first half of the twenty-second year for tourism and the infrastructure of sanatoriums and hotels was a catastrophic blow to losses, logistics base, now times have changed, how long they will remain is unknown, that’s what they are talking about, i want to say that in our system this was the time.

go on vacation to some other country, the second point regarding our natural

assets, here it should be noted that in the last couple of years, recreation has become very popular (

the entire government, yes, this is an integrated approach, the russians there are hastily trying to resolve issues with

glampings with the help of a number of resolutions, for us it is difficult, because glampings are actually like just tenants recently had a chance to visit there and studying there personally even the question of what we were talking about, there are a lot of the same original tours, but it would seem that baikal, but it definitely doesn’t need advertising of places, but infrastructure as such. no, it’s not there, that is , it’s also impossible to put up the same tents there, but it’s not to say that our allies weren’t looking into this issue, or that

they only discovered this lake yesterday, no, they started to seriously deal with this only from the end of the 20th from the first year, that is , when they realized that for them they were actually abroad, they realized that the money saved was the same as money earned, the more people who did not go to turkey left the money in russia, the better it was dissolved in the national one, look, the question is, we started, i why did you mention about troetskoe, for example, 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 this is my opinion, again i’m not convincing anyone, why? is it possible, for example, with some kind of tourist activities, events, for example, viva braslov, some rock festivals that are now taking place in the brest region, to attract tourism, how profitable is this in general, that, for example, here we are in summer we are opening these activities so that belarusians come and travel, yes, this is the same story as on a small scale in minsk, let’s hold a festival here and people will slowly go there, accordingly cafes will open,

something else i would also forward this question to iri nikola, because the ministry of sports and the department of...

i think it’s mandatory for the nation, it’s clear that people go there, if we’re talking about those who leave minsk, then it’s fair come there during the day to visit the small homeland of the head of state, it means staying for a concert and having to deal

with the fact that, well, naturally, in this small agricultural town, the hotel is just even elementary , everyone lived in the slavic bazaar, the problem of hotels has not been solved either, well, the stars are not always there, guests can come and tents here. infrastructure or accommodation options, because well, if we’re talking about the fact that these are some kind of family festivals, and people come with families, in cars, and drive back after they’ve rested? and indeed, regarding infrastructure and hotels have a serious issue, and we don’t keep silent about it, we always do.

we very strongly 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 police, with lighting infrastructure, with an additional optional opportunity to earn money on additional food, that is, this the next step is for the organizers who profit from this in order to investing already in a competent complex.

we must show them the best, as part of our duties we travel quite a lot to regional hotels and hostels, an example that is clear to all minsk residents: logoisk, the hotels have only 26 rooms, a couple of houses, catering can serve almost 500 people, when large organizations hold events , up to 700 more people line up in tents, and these tents are organized, structured, separate tents for video monitors, catering that comes, even with a small hotel can serve multi-day
