For those who love quality and affordable vacations, we recommend spending your holiday, weekend, or school break in the hospitable Republic of Belarus. This country is renowned for its magnificent landscapes, numerous lakes, deep full-flowing rivers, and well-kept cities and villages. It’s worth noting that the tourism sector in the republic has tripled compared to last year.
Ecotourism is also on the rise. Travelers from near and far are drawn not only by the high level of service, amenities, and comfort but also by the very low prices by European standards.
Prices are a topic unto themselves. Since the spring of 2011, the country has experienced a currency crisis. The national currency has been falling in value relative to the dollar and euro. Today in the Republic of Belarus, there are two exchange rates. The first is the national bank’s rate, and the second is the black market rate, which is used for all currency exchange operations in the country. It’s important to note that the black market rate is 1.5 times higher than the official rate and continues to rise. Currency exchange offices do not sell currency, and prices are rising rapidly. Thus, any tourist with a bit of foreign money is always welcome here.
