POLOTSK, 8 November (BelTA) – Tourism represents a powerful growth factor for Vitebsk Oblast. Particularly farm tourism. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement as he delivered a speech during the Vitebsk Oblast harvest festival Dazhynki 2024 in Polotsk on 8 November, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “Tourism is a powerful growth factor for Vitebsk Oblast. Particularly the rural variety. Its potential has not been utilized yet. It is not enough to have natural riches. You need a modern infrastructure that can attract guests. It is necessary to reveal Braslav lakes to the world as well as the raised bog of Yelnya, therapeutic muds, mineral waters and Saint Sophia Cathedral, Saint Euphrosyne Convent, and other unique specimens of architecture.”
All the more so because the relevant experience is already available, the head of state noted: the magnificent festival Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk gained international recognition a long time ago.
