The Belarusian Maldives will let tourists in, but under rescue supervision. Volkovysk authorities intend to organize tourism in the former quarries of Krasnoselsk plant. People are attracted by the large amount of minerals in the water and white mountains of waste material. These places are a headache for the enterprises and the district authorities  and are a dangerous industrial area. For security reasons, the authorities have decided to take control of such traveling.

Alexander Veselik, General Director of JSC Krasnoselsk Construction Materials:
"Together with the regional authorities, it is planned to build an observation deck with the installation of fences. Tourists will be accepted only in groups and only under supervision".

Krasnoselsk Construction Materials is the largest enterprise in the region. It provides almost 3,000 jobs with wages of over 1,000 rubles. Cement, chalk, lime and other construction materials are in demand in Poland, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Latvia and Estonia.
