How do creative districts contribute to the revival of tourism in Latvia?

“The positive feature of the creative quarters is that such a union of businesses and artisans attracts more visitors than each of them would have attracted individually. For example, someone would only visit the potter, someone else – only the porcelain museum, but if it is all in one place, a person has a cultural program ready for the whole day “, explains Lingebērzins, adding that in this way the creative neighborhoods” grow “with additional services that make the visit even more profitable: souvenir shops, come created cafes, hotels. This is very important for the local economy, especially in the regions.

Pottery, glass blowers, china, culinary and many other associations allow you to try many different activities when you arrive at a place. In the past, most of the activities took place in different places, but this form of tourism is no longer popular: people want to have everything in one place and you have to think about how to give it to them.

According to Lingebērziņš, the key to success is the following: we take the local, the tradition, we believe in it from the heart and develop it in a modern way so that it meets all modern requirements. For example, Scandinavians modernized their seemingly simple kitchen to the point that it became synonymous with high-class cuisine. This is confirmed by the Danish restaurant “Noma”, the Norwegian restaurant “Maaemo” and the Swedish “Frantzén”, all Michelin starred.
