Tourist benefits
By Andrey Asfurov
An agreement has been concluded with Belgeodesiya to develop an online map marking Belarus’ tourist attractions. Information is to be provided by the State Cadastre of Tourist Resources, whose database contains information on 20,000 sites. A quarter of all Belarus’ tourist attractions will be available on the virtual map as a result.
Historical and cultural sites are to be marked, alongside places of natural beauty, and the most popular social facilities — such as hotels, leisure centres, spas and farmsteads. The interactive map will be placed on the national tourist portal of Belarus, with signs denoting each type of tourist site. On selecting an image, guests will be able to gain access to detailed information and view photos.
