Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business language
Russian is the dominant language for business in Minsk, with Belarusian also official. Many international exhibitors use English, but technical negotiations, contracts, and machine demonstrations are easier with a Russian-speaking colleague or a translation app.
Currency and payments
The Belarusian ruble (BYN) is the local currency. Cards are common in hotels, larger restaurants, and supermarkets, but carry some cash for taxis, markets, and small cafes. Check with your bank about card acceptance in Belarus.
Tipping
In restaurants, a tip of about 5-10 percent is common when service is not already included. For taxis, rounding up is usual. Confirm whether a service charge appears on the bill before adding a tip.
Dress for the show
Business casual is appropriate on the Horeca Expo Minsk floor, with smart casual for evening meetings. Wear comfortable shoes for long walking days, and bring a light waterproof layer for April showers.
Punctuality and meetings
Arrive on time for scheduled meetings and stand appointments. Confirm meeting points by phone or messaging app because large venues can be busy during show days. Allow extra time for badge checks and hall navigation.
Business cards
Exchange business cards at the end of a meeting rather than the start. A card with Russian on one side is helpful for local distributors and hotel buyers. Keep a notebook for product codes and follow-up actions.
Dining and reservations
Lunch is often the main meal of the day. Popular restaurants can fill up in the evening, so reserve ahead for group dinners. If you have dietary restrictions, ask clearly and confirm ingredients with the restaurant.
Greetings and personal space
A handshake is common in business settings. Use titles and surnames until invited to use first names. Maintain a polite distance and avoid loud conversations in restaurants, lobbies, and the exhibition hall.
Photography and privacy
Ask before photographing exhibitor stands, products, or people. Some companies restrict photos of new equipment or price lists. Respect no-photo signs and avoid photographing security checkpoints or government buildings.
Local transport etiquette
Queue for metro, bus, and trolleybus boarding, and offer seats to older passengers. Keep your voice low on public transport. Have small notes or a transit card ready to avoid delays at ticket barriers.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
