AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Hotel Openings in Riga: Mogotel Hotel Group and Marriott International are bringing Latvia’s first Four Points Flex by Sheraton to Riga Old Town, opening in October at Vaļņu iela 49 after a phased renovation; the hotel will have 174 rooms plus a Tapas Tapas restaurant and spa facilities. Rail Baltica Update: A joint procurement by Elron, Vivi and LTG Link for Rail Baltica regional trains failed due to no compliant bids, with plans to clarify documents and relaunch a new tender. Tourism Ideas for 2027: Intrepid Travel’s “Not Hot List” spotlights lesser-visited places, including Liepāja (Latvia) and Mestia (Georgia), aiming to spread demand and reduce overtourism. Latvia in Focus Abroad: China has confirmed that 33 missing Latvian nationals were in Tibet during the floods and did not cross back into Nepal; DNA samples are requested for comparison. Travel Rules—Thailand: Thailand is cutting visa-free stays for many nationalities from 60 to 30 days starting Sept. 15, with a one-time extension option up to another 30 days. Border Security: Latvian authorities detained a suspected people-smuggler in Jēkabpils region after a Polish driver was stopped; several people fled into the forest and three were found without valid travel documents.
