AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Rīga Tourism: Rīga’s tourist tax is set to double from 1 January 2027, rising from €1 to €2 per night (with a cap of €17.80 for continuous stays), with extra money earmarked for tourism marketing and business travel. City Transport: Central Rīga street works will bring traffic restrictions on Dzirnavu Street (between Tērbatas and Skolas) from July 9–30, with detours advised in the historic centre. Rail Travel: Latvia’s railway platform modernization is running into major delays and higher costs, with the Aizkraukle line hit hardest after a contract was terminated. Nature & Leisure: The National Museum of Natural History hosts “Lilies 2026” from July 16–18, featuring 150+ lily varieties and local growing tips. Tech for Travellers: Sadales tīkls is using drones to inspect power lines faster across Latvia, reducing the need for staff to travel to remote spots. EU Culture: The EU’s European Cine Tour kicks off in Batumi with free screenings, including Latvian animated film “Flow.” Travel Safety/Rules: The EU’s EES has already barred nearly 44,000 people from entering Schengen, with delays and refusals tied to visit purpose and document issues. Air Connectivity: airBaltic carried 509,700 passengers in June and 2.45 million in the first half of 2026, supporting Baltic tourism and business travel.
