Minsk Special Offer - Discounts for Visitors with the Guest Card
Tourism in Belarus - Plan
Tourists cards are meant to be visiting cards of the state, as they provide an opportunity to thank guests for their visit and to inspire them to return to Belarus.
Now tourists, visiting Minsk, have an access to the Guest Card of Minsk. The owners of this card are granted 3-20 % discount in shops and service centers of the capital. The presentation of the Guest Card took place at Minsk City Council.

Tourists can get this card free of charge, when they book some services or buy products at special places, and even when they cross the border of Belarus Republic. The Card is valid during 2,5 years, and this ensures that foreign visitors would like to return to Minsk several times more. It is really a unique introduction, as in most European states such cards can be quite pricey, and valid during 3 days.

Minsk Guest card costs just 2,5 $, which is a sum for covering production costs.
What kind of opportunities and discounts does the Card offer?

- 30 cafes and restaurants (including 6 night clubs and casinos)
- 7 hotels
- 8 shopping malls
- 3 medical centres
- 1 tourist company
- 2 car rental companies
- 1 mobile operator
- 4 banks
- 7 insurance agencies

The amount of information can seem overwhelming to a tourist, that is why in order to avoid confusion, the card will be granted together with a special brochure (in Russian, English, French, and German). Another important source of discounts information is the sites of companies-participants.

An important thing for any tourist is that the card doesn’t carry any personal information, so it can easily be handed to friends and relatives, who would like to visit Minsk.

And even the more pleasant news is that another Card, “Belarus Guest Card”, will be introduced in 2010. Now business organizations are negotiating the term of the new card, which is likely to attract even more tourists to Belarus.
