From April 8 to 10, 2025, the III Belarusian-Russian Tourism Congress was held in Minsk, within the framework of which the Tourist Information Center of the Murmansk Region presented the tourism potential of the region to representatives of the tourism business of the Republic of Belarus.

The key event with the participation of the TIC of the Murmansk Region was the round table "Gastronomic brands as a means of promoting destinations". The General Director of the TIC Anastasia Ivanova spoke about the new trademark "Arctic cuisine" and the gastronomic festival "Taste of the Arctic".

In an industry discussion on ecotourism, Victoria Maksimova, Deputy Director of the TIC, spoke about the possibilities of ecotourism in the Murmansk Region, focusing on the region's natural resources and existing routes in the Kola Arctic.
