Belarus has developed a mobile application for traveling on green routes

Belarus has created a special mobile application for independent travel along green routes «BY Guide» (Android). The leader and author of the idea was Svetlana Dolyuk, a post-graduate student of the Faculty of History of the Belarusian State University.

At the moment, the online resource includes more than 300 ecological trails and cycling routes in all regions of the country. Each route contains a description, photos, a GPS track, as well as a special notation system that allows you to assess the accessibility of the object for children, pets, and people with disabilities. All routes tested by the project team are marked with a «quality mark».

In the future, it is planned to develop audio guides and include in the application a system for recognition by birdsong and animal tracks.

The implementation of the project is aimed at promoting sustainable tourism, and also contributes to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 12, 15 and other SDGs.
