Delegation from Finland Visit to Minsk

Case study:

MeetnGreetMe is a really good service, everything was well prepared and thought through. We would have not been able to arrange many things due to the lack of local knowledge and language skills.The biggest benefit of using MeetnGreetMe was the support in handling a big group in Minsk. Many places needed some extra arrangements and would have been hard to do this alone.

We’d like to share a case study with you about how we MeetnGreeted a business delegation from Finland in Minsk during their first leisure visit to Belarus.

BACKGROUND

Junction is Europe’s largest hackathon, organized annually in Helsinki, Finland. It’s a converging point for over a thousand developers, designers, and entrepreneurs from around the world. Organizers of Junction 2016 turned to MeetnGreetMe for support during their large group visit to Minsk in January. It was hard for guests to find relevant information online and make all arrangements at a distance.

SITUATION

We were commissioned to take care of all matters associated with business delegation visit to Minsk, Belarus and provided them with such services as

information support,
arranging transfer from and to the airport,
booking restaurants and choosing dishes from the menu,
booking tours at Stalin Line and Olivaria brewery museum,
interpreting and translation,
booking karting,
and much more.

SOLUTION

We have a large base of local MeetnGreeters in Minsk, Belarus, so we managed to find great personal concierges on time. Due to partner programmes and trust we’ve managed to develop with local businesses, we could quickly make all the necessary arrangements and provide them on time.

HOW IT PLAYED OUT

We arranged transfer and met the delegation at the airport to make sure they got to Minsk without any difficulties. Our interpreters helped all members of the group check-in and complete all arrangements connected with restaurants and finalizing menus with their administrators, as all delegates had different food preferences. During their stay in Minsk our Finnish guests visited the Theatre of Opera and Ballet, rode tanks and shot from war-time guns at Stalin line, drove karts at the largest karting center in Minsk and tried traditional Belarusian food.

RESULTS

Finland group members had a good time in Minsk, enjoying the true Minsk, traditional food and best activities in the capital of Belarus, and around it. Some foreign guests promised to come back to Minsk again in the future, since it has become visa-free for many international visitors.

Coming to Minsk individually or with a group? Hire MeetnGreetMe to make your travel to Minsk enjoyable and hassle free.

I was very pleased with MeetnGreetMe service and would definitely use it again, should I get the opportunity. It just makes everything much easier and you get access to knowledge that is either not possible to find or extremely hard to find online, especially when not speaking the native language.
