the broadcast of the first information continues with the sphere of interests, we will tell you about what is noticeable in the economy and business. with you, olga onishchenko. hello, and today in the program. a large-scale upgrade in the country is updating vehicle fleets. how the appearance of ground transport will change and what about the single ticket purchase database. visa-free travel changes the geography of tourists, who comes to visit us and how belarusians advertise their product, commentary from the department of tourism, the ministry of sports. and there are not many russian regions for cooperation, we still find something that is mutually interesting to us and them. buryatia, now also not terra incognito. and we start with the transport topic. surely many have noticed how public transport is being transformed. we are talking about ground transport, and not only the capital, the regions are also catching up. moreover, at the government level, a decision was made to replace 10% of the park. annually, in absolute

figures this is about 600 cars. according to the authorities, these are the optimal volumes, so that transport in the city remained comfortable and safe. unforgotten tourist routes. according to statistics, the largest part is occupied by buses, then trolleybuses and electric buses. in recent years, the focus has been on green transport with increased autonomous running. veronika buta will continue the topic. belarus is significantly updating its passenger vehicle fleet. thus, last year, over 300 units of motor vehicles, 254 buses, plus trolleybuses and electric buses were purchased. the issue was acute in minsk. in the capital region, the depreciation of the fleet reached 90% in some places. the situation is changing radically. 2023 minulavotrans developed a program for accelerated renewal of rolling stock. last year, we managed to purchase 77 buses at the expense of the minsk regional budget. this year, the renewal will amount to 146 buses of large and extra-large

capacity. also, the next stage is planned to complete the final renewal of fully depreciated transport in 2025.

per month, here were among the first to install terminals for purchasing tickets for suburban trains and intercity routes. today, what we have at the bus station, we are already distributing in the city of baranicha at certain final stops on the way out of the city so that people do not come to the bus station specifically to buy a ticket, but leaving the severny microdistrict, from the eastern microdistrict in the direction of, say, lyakhovichi, gantsevichi, so they could buy.

including digitalization of the enterprise economy there and so on within the framework of certain programs, and this know-how will be of interest to passengers throughout the country. in belarus will have a single application for selling tickets, a common database of all city, suburban and intercity routes is being prepared. using the electronic platform , it will be possible to order and pay for a ticket around the clock. in addition, the passenger will always have a receipt, which carriers sometimes do not issue. while the process is in the development stage, there is a proposal to create such a system, so far at the level of technical conditions for preparation, we plan that it will be a single system, when we can combine everything into this system sales systems, now there is a significant number of about the fact that the passenger,

having entered one point, could see the schedule, could book a seat, could purchase a ticket for any flight on any route, that is, it can be within the city and within the republic or how, it is within the republic, the new mechanism ... will allow studying the passenger flow, quickly changing the route network. for flexibility in making operational decisions across the country, a program of accelerated renewal of the vehicle fleet is being implemented. convenience, comfort and safety come to the fore for passengers. veronika buta, vitaly selyavka, area of ​​interest. convenient logistics, by the way, is one of the key conditions for tourism development. in the current conditions of an open border, routes are the most important support for the growth of tourist flow. belarus is no exception. this is noticeable even according to the data of the border committee. so without visas, which has been expanded for 2 months, has noticeably adjusted the geography of tourism, opening belarus to citizens of 35 european countries, plus about 6,000 travelers in recent times alone. the tourism industry also called this year successful

un organization. and let international tourism in the first half of the year recovered only by 96%. to the 2019 figures. in general.

this summer it can be noted that the recreation areas are equipped, this trend towards increasing and improving infrastructure, it is noted, i think that every person who went on such a summer vacation to the water, of course, they felt it, but it is also impossible not to... traditionally note this spa treatment, this is rest on agro-eco estates, and it is necessary to note such a comprehensive approach, that is, people chose not only one direction, but they combined there, for example, when relaxing in a sanatorium or in agro-estates, of course, this is visiting our cultural events, objects, well, probably such a point of attraction was an event, and traditionally the slavic bazaar and the call of polesia, which is well ...

associated primarily with those responsible, who work on specific types of tourism, there is instagram, there is a telegram channel under the hashtag poznaybelarus and really tiktok, and there is your own channel on youtube, here you still need note that this is not only as entertainment, yes, to see where you could go, but here is a very large and professional component, that is, each person who, for example, wanted to test. become a tour guide, can watch a number of specially prepared

stories on the methodology, technology of conducting an excursion, if you do not know, for example, where to start, then you can go to our youtube channel and such self-training, watching our leading classics, tour guides, who generally share and pass on this practice. interest from europeans in belarus is growing, of course, visa-free is one of the reasons, the borders are open, what kind of vacation do citizens choose? of the union and what does this situation show, how does our host country cope with the increasing tourist flow? and visa-free entry allows, in general, to visit our country and we see again positive dynamics in this, because people are getting in without hindrance, probably, if in previous years we noted that in many ways the emphasis was on shopping tours, today tourists coming to us, in general... in our sanatoriums stay in hotels with the purpose of seeing some other

tourist sites to visit, and accordingly spend time at some event events on summer programs, we again see positive dynamics, in the issue of arranging and favorable location, again a lot of work is being done, we see today that we have a question with the number of places provided in... hotels here this problem is especially obvious, in the regions, of course, agro-estates act as a kind of alternative, but in the long term we understand that the number of hotels and places needs to be increased, and there is the question again of some of our foreign travel companies, which, for example, are building a specific list of necessary measures so that certain tourists come there, this is, for example, the question of... transport, and here too a significant point is emphasized on the number of buses

for tourists, on its quality and many such things that are necessary for foreign tourists to feel favorable. thank you, irina varanovich, director of the department of tourism, ministry of sports and tourism, was in touch with us, we talked about the latest trends in holidays in belarus. this is an area of ​​interest and we continue. and now about the exchange rates. the belarusian ruble strengthened against the russian ruble and weakened against the dollar and the yuan following the results of trading on the currency and stock exchange. so, the dollar costs 3 rubles 22 kopecks, the euro added, its rate is 3.59, for 10 yuan they give 4.61 belarusian, and 100 russian today costs 3 rubles 47 kopecks. belarus is increasing cooperation with regions of russia, government delegation visiting us, a tradition that has been especially strong in recent years, we have common tasks in light of geopolitical reality,

technological sovereignty, new production to replace imports and so on and each region finds... something of its own, in order to match the seriousness of the moment, so the visit of the buryatia delegation to belarus ended the day before, in addition to the industrial sector, the program includes healthcare and tourist facilities, namely medicine and tourism, partners identified as a new promising niche for bilateral cooperation. the desire to awaken tourist interest is even greater given the limited geography of travel. we are mutually not against opening our countries to each other. in what other areas will we work? more actively, anton malyuta knows. this working week began with the union agenda. the working group on cooperation between belarus and buryatia met on monday at 9:00 am. such meetings are held alternately in minsk and ulan ud. the third meeting was hosted by the belarusian capital and prepared a busy program for partners. we, preparing to receive the bugar delegation, planned to visit a number

of healthcare institutions in our country. this includes cardiology and anti-oncology topics. we have a business and the products that are manufactured in belarus, especially mechanical engineering, this is known throughout the world , are in demand in the republic of buryat, especially agricultural mechanical engineering , we know that belarus has achieved very high results in mechanical engineering. mutual interest is great, and we are close in

our assessments, even despite the fact that we are geographically located in different parts of the world, from minsk to ulan-ude. 5.0 km, but there is no distance that our equipment would not take. belarusians work in the fields of buryat, and belaz trucks help to mine coal. these dump trucks are beyond competition, the head of the republic will say, however, like many products with the prefix, they are made in belarus. deliveries are in progress, our stores sell cheeses, butter, that is, dairy products from belarus, although it seems far away, but in fact everything arrives, there is demand they use and there is demand. we, our light industry enterprise cooperate. we have the baikal textile factory, which produces products, well, it makes clothes and so on, plus it makes yarn, threads, raw materials are taken from here, it is also carried with belarus, therefore there is a lot of interaction, here our tourists, unlike technology, have yet to discover buryatia, its main pearl is baikal, resorts are now being built around it for every taste and wallet and

belarusians are expected to visit, by the way, they promise to introduce traditional medicine, today it is not yet to... the potential of this oriental medicine has been revealed, and we, too, with your colleagues, i mean with belarusian colleagues in this area, are interacting, but we also see that there is a development prospect, if we take it in absolute figures, our trade turnover is probably small, but in 5 years it has grown sixfold, so we see the dynamics, we see interest, well, of course, buryatia is baikal, yes , most of baikal is there - well, for us, baikal is the irkutsk region and the republic of buryatia. we invite all residents of the republic of belarus, welcome to buryadya on baikal, because baikal is such a world pearl. and of course, we are waiting for a tangible economic effect. in 5 years, trade turnover has grown

sixfold, but this is not the limit. in long-term plans, we focus on science and technology. this is the main. spikes for building the union future. anton malyuta and dmitry garkusha - the sphere of interests. and that's all for today, watch us on the first information channel four times a week from monday to thursday. good luck to you in business and see you soon. as if the burying of the tree, as if the sky of the sun, dad, this is kind of strange.
