Hotel operator Mogotel At the end of December, a new hotel was opened in the center of Tallinn – Rixwell Viru Square (former Baltic Hotel Vana Wiru Tallinn).
The hotel building dates back to the 20th century. In the 50s and there are 82 rooms, lobby bar, restaurant, bar, conference halls. The hotel is located in one of the city’s main squares, Viru Square, at the crossroads of Tallinn’s most important streets.
According to Mogotel specialists, Tallinn has become a more popular tourist destination for the turn of the year compared to Vilnius and Riga. Despite a number of additional restrictions on tourists introduced during the Christmas holidays, public festivities will take place in Estonia, but entertainment venues are allowed to open until 6:00 in the morning.
“Given today’s global uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are pleased to see that our hotels in Latvia and across Europe will not be empty. Tourists from Lithuania, Ukraine, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Spain will arrive in Latvia on New Year’s holidays. Estonia is dominated by guests from Russia, Finland and Latvia, ”comments Vadim Muhin, owner of Mogotel Hotel Group.
Speaking about the past year in the tourism industry in Latvia and all the Baltic countries, Mogotel highlights a positive trend – domestic tourism is growing. More often than before the pandemic, tourists from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia choose local hotels or accommodation in neighboring countries. This stimulates more active development of tourism infrastructure and an increase in the number of offers. Thus, seven Mogotel hotels will be opened in Latvia in December 2021, compared to only two a year ago.
“As stricter restrictions return to Europe due to the rapid spread of the omicron, the total number of tourists from Europe will be lower than in previous months. In turn, the share of travelers from the Baltic States and the number of local tourists is unlikely to change. In addition, the overall dynamics will be significantly affected by the increase in electricity and gas prices in Europe, as a result of which the prices of tourism services will increase, ”Jelena Stirna, Executive Director of Mogotel Hotel Group, forecasts the development of the tourism industry in the first quarter of 2022.
