Why do foreigners choose Belarusian health resorts and praise our country?
Even in spite of such aggressive anti-Belarusian propaganda, the citizens of the neighboring states, taking advantage of our visa-free regime, come for recuperation services to our country.
The occupancy of Belarusian health resorts in comparison with the first half of last year increased and amounted to more than 75%. About a hundred tourists from the Baltic States come here every day for recuperation.
Rest in the Belarusian resorts
The Belarusian nature is as an alternative to the foreign landscapes. Vera Oleinikova, a guest from Israel, has been choosing only Belarusian resorts for vacation for 10 years.She gets here via Azerbaijan. And despite complicated logistics, the desire to be on the Belarusian land grows stronger. She does not buy a voucher for less than a month.
Vera Oleinikova, vacationer at the health resort (Israel):
"I liked it here so much that I just don't want to go anywhere else. First of all, a beautiful health resort, beautiful nature: forest is something we don't have in Israel at all. The berries are something. I've been dreaming about all year long. We don't grow berries at all. And that's why I gather all these berries, blackberries, cranberries, blueberries, and bring them to Israel. And I get enough of them for a long time. "
And this family came from Russia. They planned their vacation in advance. The recreation in a health resort was combined with a wedding anniversary. Marina and Daniil Sablin came to Russia for the first time, but they've already experienced that they can afford the prices, and that there is plenty to see.
Daniil Sablin, a health resort guest (Russia):
"We went to Minsk twice. From the morning till late at night we walked around Minsk, looked the sights. We liked the pricing. For us, many things were attractive. "
Rest and recuperation
Health resort "Sosnovy Bor" is located in a pine forest on the river bank, 50 kilometers off Minsk. It has a unique hydropark, a boat station and a beach. However, tourists are attracted not only by our flora but also by medical services.
Anatoly Nafranovich, deputy director of the health resort:
"The most demanded service in the health resort is cardiology. For this purpose, there is a wide range of services that allows the patient to get a full examination, necessary consultations. We train our own staff specialists, cardiologists. "
Vladimir Avramenko, a holidaymaker at the health resort:
"I have been visiting this "Pine Forest" for 7 years in a row. The resort is very qualified with good nature, wonderful infrastructure. The most important thing is good, high-quality procedures."
Today Belarusian health resorts work at maximum load. Every day they accommodate more than 25 thousand people, of whom about 5.5 thousand guests are foreigners.
