About 60 people arrived at Minsk National Airport yesterday. The first tourist to pass border control without a visa was a Finnish citizen arriving in Belarus from Slovakia on Sunday at 00:01, i.e. immediately after the President’s decree on a five-day visa-free regime had come into force.
The Ministry of Sport and Tourism expects the introduction of the visa-free regime to result in a 20% increase in tourist flow. The World Tourism Organisation has expressed its full support for Belarus’ decision.
