Rural Belarus is opening to tourists. In the Country of Belarus, the idea of rural tourism development has always been around. Now, it has become a reality with: a chain of farm stays, six tours and many holidays ideas, education and training, public assemblies and participation, food related events (see Alla's pies in the pdf below!)
If you want to travel to Belarus, you can choose among many country destinations, most of them managed by women. And in fact, this is the lovely PDF they sent us: BELARUS FARMSTAY. Valeria Klitsounova, the Chairman of the Board of “Country Escape” Association, was also the frist one to activate her neighbours and villages, with the dream of getting people to know her beloved culture and nature. She just came back from the States, where she started a cooperation with the American B+B.
