Many cities by the sea are already turning into tourist centers.For example, a new marina for pleasure craft was built in Engura.The head of the port noted that this initiative had aroused international interest, including from a French investor who had opened a new shipyard for the construction of yachts.
The length of the coastline in Latvia is 494 km. Some families in coastal villages took the opportunity to diversify their incomes by turning their fishing farms into guest houses.Locals conduct guided tours, introducing tourists to the history of fishing in the country. Guests can enjoy fresh smoked seafood at the family cafe.
One of the cities that is turning into a tourist destination is the port of Ventspils in western Latvia. Many tourists come here in the summer, especially from neighboring Lithuania.
As the traditional fishing industry declines, Latvia's coastal cities are demonstrating resilience by refocusing on tourism.
