The first venue was the Minsk City Hall, where the event was held on May 19. Experts and industry leaders spoke at the event. Alexey Rusakevich, Director of the Minsk Information and Tourism Center, provided key figures: 86% of visitors to the capital are Russian, and 80% of tourists choose individual travel. The event also discussed the growth of industrial tourism (more than 70,000 visitors in 2025) and the opening of 16 new hotels in the past four years. Irina Solovyova, Deputy Head of the Representative Office of the Republican Center for Health Improvement, spoke about sanatorium treatment, and Alexander Trus, the coordinator of medical tourism, spoke about the increase in the number of foreign patients to 178,000 people from 160 countries.
Later, the same topic was discussed at the Unified Information Day, which took place on May 21 within the clinic staff. The meeting participants discussed the main trends announced at the infostream: the development of individual and industrial tourism, the expansion of the hotel chain, the availability of sanatorium treatment, and the success of medical tourism.
Thus, the topic of tourism development was consistently covered first at the expert level in the Town Hall, and then brought to a wide audience during the Unified Information Day.
