Tourism Development Strategy for Vidzeme

• In 2011, the first proposals for the Vidzeme Tourism Development Strategy and an action plan for 2012–2013 were prepared, based on the Vidzeme Tourism Development Strategy 2007–2013. Considering the economic situation at the time, available resources, and expected tourism development outcomes, the most important actions for promoting tourism in Vidzeme and optimizing VTA activities were developed, following strategic tourism planning principles.
