Historical places with preserved monuments of past epochs or the picturesque corners of the country are usually selected for the construction of mansions and hotels. In such an attractive and picturesque site agritourism object Park Dubrova is located. The complex lies on the shore of the reservoir Dubrovsky, on the border of Minsk and Smolevichi regions, 26 km to the north-east of the capital. The ski resorts Silichi and Logoisk are in close proximity to it, as well as the Olympic Training Center for winter sports Raubichi, the historical and cultural complex Stalin Line, the museum complex of folk crafts and technologies Dududki, health and leisure facilities for children and adults.
NAIP offers foreign businesses to take part in the realization of this investment project, initiated by Unitary Enterprise Ozeritskiy-Agro (founder and owner of the enterprise OJSC Belagroprombank).
“In addition to a great location, another advantage of the project is convenient transportation. The national airport Minsk-2 is only 31 km far from Dubrova Park, there are also republic-wide roads in close proximity of the object: the M3 highway – 15 km far from the complex, the M1 / E30 highway – 20 km, and there are other roads with improved pavement – asphalt road around the object ”, said representative of OJSC Belagroprombank Vladimir Nekrash.
Six million dollars have been already invested in the project realization. All necessary communication lines for the construction of tourist facilities have been also prepared, built and connected.
“The main goal of the project is to provide favorable environmental, social and commercial effects. Due to the fact that the segment of tourism services that is available for the middle class, the so-called "budget travel" is not sufficiently developed, the construction of the facility Dubrova Park is aimed at meeting the needs of this particular segment of the population in a variety of tourist services ”, said Vladimir Nekrash.

When creating necessary conditions, we consider the possibility of organizing hippotherapy sessions for children with disabilities. This project will not be solely social.
