Belarusian tourists continue to flock to Estonia, with some routes reaching Finland and Sweden

Despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, Belarusian tourists are consistently traveling to Estonia and beyond, with various travel agencies offering group tours.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has had little impact on the flow of Belarusian tourists, as they continue to travel to neighboring Estonia and further into Scandinavia. At least five Belarusian travel agencies are promoting group trips to the Baltic countries, including Sweden and Finland. These packages typically include six-day itineraries, encompassing bus travel, accommodation in Tallinn, and ferry voyages between Finland and Sweden, as reported by Finnish publication Kauppalehti.

Belarusian tourists most commonly start their journeys in Estonia, then proceed to Finland and Stockholm. They typically travel by ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki with EckerΓΆ Line's Finlandia ferry, then onto Stockholm with Tallink vessels. Another favored route is a direct cruise from Tallinn to Stockholm aboard the Tallink Baltic Queen, which stops at the Aland Islands along the way. Travel organizers in Minsk, such as Big Trip and Data Tour, have been offering such travel packages for at least a year and continue to have a robust selection for the current year.

In Tallinn, these tourists are primarily accommodated in three-star hotels, which cater to their needs while providing comfortable and budget-friendly options. This trend highlights a continued interest among Belarusian travelers in exploring the Baltic region, even amidst the backdrop of geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe.
