Latvia is a beautiful country to visit. Besides its rich history, it presents high-end accommodation options for every budget. With a strong cultural background, Latvia has kept its eyes on the future offering a number of innovations regarding tech services and e-governance. These policies are nothing but a reflection of the country’s exciting environment.
Tourism in Latvia
One of Latvia’s best attractions is its capital city. Although there are no official statistics for the number of people visiting Riga, we can analyze the tourist flow entering and exiting the country. According to official sources, approximately 1.5-2 million people visit Latvia every year. Six-hundred thirty-five thousand of these people are tourists that come to enjoy the local wonders.
The main player in this game is the city of Riga, which has been a touristic center since the 17th century. Nowadays, the capital is considered a historical hub, and the old town is the most visited area. However, tendencies indicate that the strategy may be shifting into urban tourism, i.e., visiting a city for its modern facilities rather than historical value.
Either way, the hotel industry in Latvia has developed into a wide array of options for all types of travelers. From single rooms to apart-hotels, Latvia has nothing to envy the western capitals when it comes to touristic services. On the contrary, the lower costs are a big encouragement for many travelers to pick this destination.
