📋 Tender Overview
How will the theses of the head of state affect our lives? Why is it important to understand the set track for the five-year plan and how did the first day of the National Assembly go? These and other questions were discussed by experts on the talk show In Essence. Yuri Karaev, chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee, delegate of the VII National Assembly: The words of our first Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Snapkov became my motto. Tourism is a priority for the five-year plan. He started one of his letters to me this way when we approved the new staff for those who will be engaged in tourism. And it has settled in my mind. What are we planning to come up with? First of all, we still intend to launch the Grodno airport so that tourists can arrive here. We are finishing the repair of the runway and for the next two years of the five-year plan, we will equip all navigation equipment that, unfortunately, was lost in recent years, but now it will be. We see this from the flow of tourists. I used to think that the iron curtain between us and the so-called civilized world, which closed from the west, would make us an outskirt. To my surprise, over these years, I have seen that the flow of tourists is increasing. So far, it is mainly Russians, but also those who arrive without a visa. Yuri Karaev: We faced a shortage of hotel rooms. Some of the most expensive apartments in the republic are being rented out. Everyone who comes to Grodno feels this. On the one hand, it is good that our Grodno citizens are benefiting a little and leaving money in the economy. But the most important thing is that this tourism indirectly leaves money everywhere - in roadside services and at our facilities. Naturally, people need to eat. We recently completed the restoration of a hotel. Not many rooms, a few hundred, but still. And, of course, what the head of state emphasized today is that this should also be in district centers; our Minister of Transport gave us the idea to create a train, similar to the Victory Train, which travels at night and, for example, spends the day in the Brest Fortress and Brest. Arrived - Mir and Novogrudok, which has been mentioned today as a new future tourist center. The railway does not pass through them directly, not through Novogrudok and Mir, but somewhere nearby. Travel at night - Lida, Grodno. We will somehow need to come up with all these travel shows, advertising, so that the airport and such a proposal as this train can be promoted.
