Yes, and I saw a sad picture now. And I realized that COVID-19 did not just hit the tourism industry, but test its strength. Who will survive and who will not.

How the coronavirus has affected the tourist flow in the Republic of Belarus.

Korоnavirus contributed to the flow of tourists to the Republic of Belarus.

This is especially due to foreign tourists, since their flow almost completely stopped, although the borders were open until the last moment, and anyone from any country could come to us, but the 14-day quarantine should have held, but not everyone followed it.
