My organisation

The Latvian Country Tourism Association “Lauku ceļotājs” is the oldest and most influential rural tourism organisation in Latvia, founded in 1993. Its mission is the development of rural tourism within the broader rural economy, working in collaboration with agriculture, municipal authorities, nature-conservation and other sectors. The association represents the interests of its members in policy-making, acts as a professional information forum and marketing platform, and includes over 300 businesses from rural tourism, agriculture, and craftsmanship across all Latvian regions.

About me
