About 40% of the total number of trips during the half-year, and there were 91 organized trips in total, fell in May and June. The region's medical workers dedicated their trips to important dates - the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus from the Nazi invaders and the 79th anniversary of the Great Victory. In particular, tourists traveled to the hero city of Brest and to the historical and cultural heritage sites of the Vitebsk and Mogilev regions.
Other routes were timed to coincide with the 120th anniversary of the trade union movement in the country and the Year of Quality. For the first time, members of the industry trade union visited Pskov and Veliky Novgorod in Russia with organized excursions.
Among the industrial enterprises that the medical workers of the northern region have shown the greatest interest in during the Year of Quality are the Verkhnedvinsk butter and cheese factory and the Glubokoye cannery. The undisputed leader in terms of attendance remains the world's largest manufacturer of heavy-duty quarry dump trucks, OJSC "BELAZ" in the Minsk region.
