Highlights from the programme:
A key announcement came from the Kurzeme Planning Region, presenting a new competition for tourism entrepreneurs under the Light in the Dark project. The call invites the creation of new off-season tourism products, which will be piloted this autumn and featured in international digital materials as examples of inspiration.
