AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoMeasles Travel Alert: Health authorities are warning holidaymakers that measles is spreading across Europe. The EU recorded 961 cases between January and April, the UK logged over 700 from January to June, and April’s highest EU counts were in Bulgaria (163), Italy (133) and Latvia (38). Officials urge travellers to be fully vaccinated before summer trips, noting serious complications can include pneumonia, meningitis and seizures. Border & Safety in Latvia: Eastern Latvia’s “Land of Blue Lakes” is seeing fewer bookings as drone fears grow; guesthouses near the Russian border report cancellations tied to shelter concerns. Riga as a Travel Hub: airBaltic and EL AL signed a codeshare starting 1 July 2026, restoring Riga–Tel Aviv flights (three times weekly) and adding smoother connections via Riga to multiple European cities. EU Entry Rules for Visitors: From late 2026, British travellers heading to many EU countries will need ETIAS approval (a €20 fee, free for under-18s and over-70s), with Saga warning travellers could be denied boarding if details don’t match. Latvia in the Spotlight: Jurmala Futures on the Beach Pro Tour wrapped with Latvian beach volleyball success, including a women’s gold for Graudina & Samoilova and an all-Latvian men’s final.
