“The enterprise is ready to welcome tourists. At the moment we are processing applications for the future tours. There are plans to make guided exhibition tours for organized groups,” Pavel Tukhto said. A group of 40 guests from Lithuania have already applied for a tour in February. “But we expect we will be able to conduct the first tour even earlier,” the spokesman noted.

During the tour visitors will get an insight into all areas of tractor production from the metal-cutting shop where gears and axles are made to the assembly shop where the main assembly line of the enterprise is located. Tourists will also see an exhibition of the tractors the company makes and get acquainted with the brand new Belarus model range.
