Minsk and Simferopol will be connected by bus, railway and air routes
From the end of May, a railway connection will appear between Crimea and Minsk.
Two trailer cars will complement the Simferopol-Moscow passenger train passing through Smolensk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the chairman of the board of the Republican Union of Tourism Industry, Philip Guly, the flow of tourists from Belarus to Crimea has decreased over the past 8 years, but historically the peninsula has been a traditional holiday destination for Belarusians.
“Sooner or later the airspace will open,” Guly is convinced. “From May 26 it will be possible to travel to Crimea by train.”
A representative of the Belarusian tourism industry insists on the revival of bus tours to Crimea, which were in demand before the coronavirus pandemic. A transit visit to the cities of Smolensk, Rostov, Voronezh regions is combined with overnight stays in hotels with a final destination on the Crimean coast. Developed networks of highways and hotel facilities make such transit chains in demand.
In addition, more than one generation of tourism managers has already grown up in Belarus who have no idea about the individual products of the Crimean resort: Saki mud, mineral water, climate therapy, physiotherapy. Especially what the peninsula has to offer in the off-season.
Let us remind you that during the exhibition “Vacation 2022”, the Russian Ambassador to Belarus Boris Gryzlov expressed his desire to connect Minsk and Crimea by rail.
