Riga becoming increasingly popular as destination for conferences and corporate events

The Riga Tourism Development Bureau (RTDB) has upgraded the MEET RĪGA portal www.MeetRiga.com. As a result of streamlined and faster search of relevant service providers and conference or corporate event venues, interest in Riga as a destination has increased among foreign corporate event and conference organisers.

The new functions enable selection of event venues or hotels, inquiries can be sent to up to eight venues at a time, and there is information available about the leading business tourism companies. The new MeetRiga.com portal now also includes a business tourism section, which offers the latest news and information about conferences and corporate events in Riga and Latvia.

According to the RTDB brand MEET RĪGA Director Aigars Smiltāns, “Although we were providing information about the most popular event and conference venues already before that, the new functions make the process much faster and more convenient – it now takes just a couple mouse clicks to find the basic information the visitor is looking for, which in turn increases the likelihood that he or she will choose Riga as the destination. We already see that we are receiving more inquiries than we originally expected. Thus far, the biggest one was for 200 persons. I have to add that, for the first time, we have presented the portal at one of the largest conference, congress and corporate event fairs in Europe, IMEX in Frankfurt, where we received plenty of praise for our job.”

In the near future, MeetRiga.com will also offer information on opportunities for organisation of conferences and corporate events in Jūrmala and Sigulda, as well as a calendar of upcoming conferences, congresses and exhibitions in Riga and Latvia.
