Belarus Tourism: Fact-Checking Claims of Misleading European Media

Minsk, Belarus – A video circulating online from a source claiming to be the official LDPR account alleges that European media outlets are downplaying the number of European tourists visiting Belarus. The video claims that over 82,000 Europeans visited in 2025 alone, and over 1.1 million since the visa-free program. "Only in 2025, Belarus was visited by more than 82 thousand Europeans!" the video states. The video's presenter goes on to accuse European authorities of deliberately misleading their citizens about the reality of tourism in Belarus. While the video provides statistics, independent verification is necessary to confirm these claims. The video's strong tone and accusations raise questions about potential bias and political motivations. Further investigation into the accuracy of the presented data is needed to provide a complete picture of European tourism in Belarus.
