MINSK, 19 September (BelTA) – It is a good idea to provide additional services, including the organization of wedding and birthday parties, other banquets, at agroecotourism facilities, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said when he heard out a report of Belarus’ Economy Minister Vladimir Zinovsky on the promotion of agroecotourism in the country on 19 September, BelTA has learned.
“I have been to such agroecotourism facilities and know how people re spending their free time there. This is rather profitable business. But it was forbidden to hold wedding and birthday parties, other banquets there. It has been proposed to lift such bans. If people want to organize a birthday or wedding party there, let them do it,” Alexander Lukashenko said.
The president pointed out the need to develop agroecotourism in the country. “It is very good that our people, especially in rural areas and small towns, got an opportunity to start such businesses, provide for their families because this is family business as a rule,” the head of state said.
