She said that the number of tourists visiting Riga for Christmas was lower
than for New Year, and starting from December 28 until the first week of
January hotels in Riga and Jurmala were full.
"Tourists from Russia are still dominating, but we see more and more
tourists from other neighboring countries – Estonia and Lithuania. The number
of tourists from Germany and Scandinavia is also growing," she said.
Tourists not only choose four- and five-star hotels in the center of Riga,
but also appreciate the service of hotels outside the Riga center and budget
hotels.
LVRA is an organization that unites hotels, guest houses, motels and
restaurants for a professional cooperation. The association, founded in 1993, now has
more than 200 members.
