Introduction Finding the Right Place

Every meeting planner knows that finding a talented and dependable Destination

Management Company (DMC) or Professional Conference Organizer (PCO) is a

critical component in the success of an international event. An excellent DMC or

PCO must not only offer a full–service operation, but must also have a complete

understanding and passion for the destination. A DMC or PCO needs to provide

imagination, expertise, creativity, and sometimes influence in order to carry out

distinctive and exclusive programs for meetings, congresses, and conferences.

But what exactly does a DMC do, and how can you find the right onsite partner to

act as your “right arm” in Riga, Latvia? Most DMCs provide a wide array of products

and services that will meet and, ideally, exceed your delegates’ needs. Services cover

logistical roles ranging from meet and greet, transportation services, local tours, and

day trips to booking of hotels, conference venues, catering companies, AV, florists,

customized programs, theme events, and entertainment. Acting as a cultural liaison,

a good DMC can also provide its local knowledge at the registration desk, giving the

planner and delegates an added sense of comfort and security. A PCO takes on the

role of coordinator and consultant, and is responsible for logistics and administration

in the organization and preparation of meetings.

There are undoubtedly many advantages to working with a local MDC or PCO. But

how do you go about finding a professional organization with the expertise, adequate

infrastructure, and staffing to provide you with exceptional service? Several research

options are available to you, such as professional association directories. Most truly

professional DMCs or PCOs belong to one of the associations mentioned in the

section Service Suppliers – such as MEET RIGA, MPI, ICCA, SITE, and Euromic – or

belong to a globally recognized travel management company like American Express

Travel, Carlson Wagonlit, HRG, and BCD. According to Latvian legislation, DMCs and

PCOs must have a license that is equal to full travel agency services.

When searching for a DMC or PCO, check the list of suppliers on our website,

www.MeetRiga.com, to get a better idea of the services provided.

Why Riga?

Why choose the Latvian capital to host your next meeting? Quite

simply, Riga is the perfect fit. The city is the right size for either

small board meetings, with only a handful of colleagues, or

large conferences with over a thousand participants – anyone

can be easily accommodated. Riga is compact enough to be

traversed on foot, minimizing travel times, and large enough

to offer a variety of options for venues and accommodations.

These include not only a wide range of hotels – from classical

masterpieces to boutique design hotels – but also many

different types of conference facilities, with services available

for competitive prices that are far lower than other cities in

the region.

This sheer variety is an essential aspect of Riga, and draws

thousands of travelers from around the globe every month.

These visitors take advantage of the quick and easy connections

to Riga, with direct flights from almost a hundred international

cities and daily ferry service from Stockholm. In Riga, visitors

appreciate the stunning range of architectural styles and

the rich, multicultural heritage bestowed by the city’s eight–

hundred–year history. This has helped turn the modern–day

city into a vibrant cosmopolitan capital, home to a variety of

residents and a wealth of different features. Your meeting can

also benefit from this diversity, as it is possible to organize your

board meeting, conference, kick–off event, and gala dinner in

settings from various historical periods – from medieval castles

in the countryside, to opulent Baroque ballrooms in Old Riga, to

Soviet–themed events in historic Communist–era spaces.

Whatever kind of event you choose, Riga’s experienced

conference experts will help you plan it down to the last detail,

be it a gourmet dinner in a country manor or a gala concert

featuring a star musician. Conference facilities in Riga are

fully equipped with the latest high–tech equipment, including

broadband internet access and first–class catering services. And

if you choose, you can even take your conference outside to

one of the city’s verdant parks and gardens,

which feature ample WiFi connections from

outdoor access points. In fact, sustainable

conferences are Riga’s specialty, as it is

possible to walk to and from almost all the

venues in the city, minimizing your carbon

footprint, or to stay in an eco–friendly

Green–Key hotel, protecting the planet’s

resources. You can even cater your events

with fresh, organic products from the city’s

farmer’s markets, enjoying the full bounty of

Latvian nature.

Of course, you can also appreciate Latvian

nature up close, by hosting your meetings

or conferences in a rustic settings during

any of the region’s four distinct seasons.

Latvia is filled with glittering blue lakes and

swiftly flowing rivers, and has more than

five hundred kilometers of pristine coastline.

Meetings or conferences can be organized

at any of these countryside locations, in any

season. And after a long day of meetings,

you can take your employees for a seaside

picnic to sample local culinary delicacies, or

offer a day of fishing or boating in the gulf as

a much–deserved break from their everyday

routine. These events can then be followed

up with a short ride back to Riga and a

sumptuous dinner at one of the city’s fine

gourmet restaurants – a contrast in settings

that perfectly exemplifies the diversity of

milieus and the variety of offerings that

define this fascinating, ever–changing city.

than happy to compete.

Cesis – Where the Past Meets the Future.

Cesis is so homey and cozy that a trip here seems like a

visit to a kind Latvian granny. This is a place where genuine

cordiality and real coziness vibrate in the air; where one can

laze a bit and forget about everything else in the world; and

where each visitor is welcomed warmly and plied with the

tastiest honey-covered bread slices ever. Cesis is not only one

of the oldest towns in the country, but also one of the most

authentically Latvian towns. Rich in picturesque landscapes

and testimonies of the past, Cesis embodies both an intriguing

sense of antiquity and modern self-esteem.

The city’s history encompasses the era of the old Vendi tribe,

which gave the city its German name, Venden; the events

of the year 1206, when the town was first mentioned in

chronicles; the era of the Hanseatic League, when even the

counsels of the Hanseatic cities in the Baltic region took place

here; as well as the period of count Walter von Plettenberg,

under whose reign the city prospered. Cesis is also the origin

of the red-white-red national flag of Latvia.

Both Cesis and the Cesis district are among the most

attractive locations for incentives, seminars, and conferences.

The Cesis Castle complex offers different halls in different

sizes and styles for seminars, featuring modern presentation

equipment. Theatrical performances in the medieval castle will

conjure up a romantic atmosphere, getting everyone involved

through role-playing, music, and meals. A great complements

to incentive activities are bicycling, hiking, and rafting in

summer, and skiing in winter, helping you to relax and enjoy

the magic of nature.

The modern city of Cesis awaits visitors from far and near to

share its aura of antiquity, many attractions and interesting

sights, and its signature coziness, letting guests enjoy the

town’s hospitality and helping you to reach the goals of your

seminar or conference.

Daugavpils

“From the stones of the historic fortress and the proud

Jugendstil in the city center, to small wooden houses in the

suburbs with grayish–blue shutters and geraniums on the

windowsills – Daugavpils is a city with a pronounced feeling

of home and protection that accompanies every person who

was born here or has lived here for some time.” (Poet Anna

Rancane)

Daugavpils – the second largest city in Latvia and center of

the East Latvian region – has given the world the outstanding

painter Mark Rothko, the “King of Tango” Oscar Strok, and

the actor, stage director, and public and political figure

Solomon Mikhoels (Vovsi). The symbols of the city are the

nineteenth–century fortress and Church Hill, with the churches

of four confessions. The historical center of Daugavpils is a

town–planning monument of national importance. The central

part of the city was developed in the nineteenth century in

accordance with design documents approved in St. Petersburg

in 1826. The historical center is the most attractive place in

the city and one of the most successful examples of reaching

a compromise between the old and the new. Daugavpils is

one of the few Latvian cities that can boast a unique ensemble

of classical and eclectic buildings. The cultural and historical

heritage, including town planning, architectural, artistic,

industrial, and historical monuments, together with the

surrounding landscapes, shapes the image of Daugavpils and

adds special charm to the city. Welcome to Daugavpils!

Great Liepaja

When choosing a travel destination, it’s always a good idea to

visit a place that offers unique sights not available anywhere

else. Sights, sounds, and experiences that are unique in Latvia,

the Baltics, Europe, and around the world...

In the World

• The largest mechanical organ, at Holy Trinity Lutheran

Cathedral.

• Liepāja’s beaches have the finest, whitest sand.

• Saint Meinard Catholic Church, the former Vatican pavilion

used during the international exhibition EXPO 2000 in

Hannover, Germany.

In Europe

• Peter’s Market is one of the most beautiful market pavilions.

• Karosta Prison, the only former military prison open to

tourists.

• Rotatable steel bridge over the Karosta canal – a unique

example of engineering and a technical marvel.

In the Baltics

• The oldest electric tram.

• The largest historical military territory – Liepāja Fortress and

Karosta (Naval Port).

• The highest building with cupolas – Liepāja St. Nicholas

Orthodox Marine Cathedral in Karosta (Naval Port).

The charm of Liepāja is concealed in its special atmosphere.

Sometimes calm, sometimes swirling, like the sea washing the

shores of the city. Genuine and truthful – this is Liepāja.

Liepāja has grown from a small village into the third largest

city in Latvia, with a population of 85,000 people.

Liepāja is well-known as a city of culture and entertainment. It

is the home of the oldest professional Latvian theater and the

internationally recognized Liepāja Symphony Orchestra. The

city is also the cradle of Latvian rock music, hosting various

annual rock, classical, and organ music festivals, as

well as theater, dance and art festivals.

Liepāja’s beach is a great place to relax. It is 50 to

80 meters wide when the wind is calm. The Blue

Flag has been awarded to Liepāja’s beach each year

since 2001.

Karosta (Naval Port) holds a special place in the

history of Liepāja. It was built at the turn of the 20th

century as a military base for the Russian Empire.

Today, the neighborhood is a special part of the city,

where Tsarist architecture coexists with the Soviet-

era heritage.

Liepaja’s Menciņi

Liepaja’s guests won’t leave hungry. In case you

don’t know what local delicacy to order at a pub or

restaurant, the city of Liepaja has ensured that its

most traditional dish – Liepaja’s menciņi – will be

available in all of the city’s cafes and restaurants.

The dish is highly recommended because it’s

prepared according to an old-fashioned country

recipe from Southern Kurzeme, which includes

potatoes, smoked cod, and onions in a steaming hot

ceramic pot.

Jurmala – the Biggest Seaside Resort in the Baltics!

Your business partners will be pleasantly surprised by the idea

of organizing a seminar or corporate event in the Latvian resort

town of Jurmala, which won a European Destination of Excellence

award from the European Commission in 2010. Jurmala is the

largest seaside resort in the Baltic states, located just 25 km from

the Latvian capital of Riga and only a 15-minute drive from Riga

International Airport. Therefore Jurmala is a convenient place to

organize a seminar or conference. The resort town has become a

popular location for international conferences and meetings.

There are lots of opportunities to organize both conferences for

up to 600 persons and small workshops or seminars. In Jurmala

you will find a wide range of venues to organize your event,

from nice wooden architectural monuments, quaint summer

cottages, and the Jurmala City Museum to ideally located,

modern five-star hotels with high standards. More and more

international scale events have been taking place in Jurmala in

recent years, including the Baltic Environmental Forum, the Baltic

Forum, the conference of the World Presidents’ Organization,

the Golden Hammer International Advertising Festival, the final

reception of the World Tourism Organization Conference, the

International Diplomatic Bowling Tournament, the Latvian Resort

Conference, and the International Physiotherapists Congress. Try

out an untraditional approach while organizing you seminar or

conference, and choose Jurmala’s white sandy beaches or Nature

Park as a venue.

Jurmala has a wide range of possibilities to combine productive

work in a pleasant atmosphere with leisure activities. Visitors can

try the positive effects of unique innovations in the wellness and

recreation industries, offered by the Jurmala’s spa centers, tennis

courts, yacht clubs, Dzintari Concert Hall, Livu Aqua Park (the

biggest in Northern Europe), and, on the border of Jurmala, one

of the biggest golf clubs in Latvia, Saliena Golf. The fresh sea air

and pine trees will stimulate brainwork, but in the evening you

can regain your strength in a mineral water pool, a walk on the

beach, or a relaxing bicycle ride. You can also choose to go amber

hunting on the beach, relax in a Russian bath, or taste Latvian

smoked fish and beer at the Jurmala Open-Air Museum.

Jurmala is well-known for its natural treasures – the mild climate,

sea, healthy air, curative mud, and mineral waters. The main

attraction of the resort town lies in its almost 33-km-long white

sandy beaches and large pine forests, combined with modern

relaxation and resort facilities. In every season there are plenty

of events for everyone – art exhibitions, local and international

events, and concerts.

Jurmala could easily become your favorite place for corporate

events and incentives. The town has a wide range of possibilities

to combine productive work in a pleasant atmosphere with team-

building activities at any time of year.

Ventspils

Ventspils – the city of tomorrow, respecting the past and

working for today! Ventspils is the northern gate of Latvia

and the biggest port in Kurzeme. Companies from various

sectors that reach outside their region actively operate in this

seaside city. Ventspils is also a wonderful place for organizing

conferences and seminars. The city can not only offer venues

equipped according to up-to-date requirements – such as the

Ventspils Nafta and Trade Port Business Centre, the Livonian

Order Castle, Ventspils University College, the city’s libraries,

and the Digital Centre – but also provide full-fledged recreation

possibilities for seminar participants.

Ventspils is a popular tourist center in Latvia, offering recreation

on the coast of the Baltic Sea on a carefully maintained Blue

Flag beach and two excellent water parks. The sports facilities

of the Ventspils Olympic Center are often used for high-level

athletic events, competitions, and camps. Just 300 meters

from the coast you’ll also find a seaside camping area, which

corresponds to the highest standards of European-level

campsites. And the Ventspils Adventure Park offers exciting

activities and entertainment during winter and summer.

History is still alive in the old section of Ventspils, the Livonian

Order Castle, and the narrow cobblestone streets of the Ostgals

neighborhood. You can also enjoy special attractions in the

Seaside Open–Air Museum, such as a ride in the narrow-gauge

railway train or the Railbike, or go a boat ride through the port

of Ventspils on the boat Hercogs Jēkabs (Duke Jacob).

The modern acoustics system at the Sea Gate Theater provides

new possibilities for concerts, plays, and shows of various

genres. Organizations that choose the Jaunrades nams

(Creativity Centre) for their conference venue can enjoy gazing

at the stars in the most modern digital planetarium in the Baltic

states and the largest digital planetarium in Latvia,

or can observe ongoing processes on the Sun in the

observatory equipped with a modern telescope.

Ventspils is also called the Flower Capital of Latvia.

Here you will find unique flower sculptures with

names like Underwater World, Bobsleigh Team,

Ladybirds, and Duck Family, as well as the only

flower clock in Latvia. Ventspils is known throughout

the country for being a family– and recreation–

friendly city.

Challenge Yourself and Climb Higher (in Sigulda)

The best way to test your ambition outside the office is to

challenge yourself and climb higher! You’ll have the unique

opportunity to test yourself by prancing through the treetops

like a wildcat. Participants can test their abilities either alone or

in teams.

Fly Like a Bird at the Aerodium (in Sigulda)

The Aerodium is a vertical wind tunnel where visitors are

suspended on a gust of air blowing upwards at a speed of

180–200 km/h. You can fly like a bird, held up in midair by

the wind blowing from below.

Amber Hunting (On the Seashore)

The coast is full of million–year–old treasures: amber stones

that were once as valuable as gold. Challenge your colleagues

to a competition and see who can find the most amber; then

turn your discoveries into a beautiful necklace. End your day

of amber hunting with a fishermen’s picnic on the seashore,

sampling freshly smoked fish and beer from local breweries.

Baroque–Style Reception at Rundale Palace (Rundale

Village)

Dress up in the fashions of the Baroque and Rococo eras

and travel back in time to the Rundale Palace court. Enjoy an

antique music concert and learn to dance the Minuet.

Cut Off from the World (Ligatne)

You will be surprised and astonished at how easily you can be

cut off from the world and go totally offline! Take the unique

opportunity to visit a well–preserved, secret nuclear war

bunker nine meters belowground. You can also experience a

Soviet–style meal at an authentic cafeteria.

Sliding at High Speeds (Sigulda)

Have an exciting competition at the

artificial luge and bobsled track in

Sigulda. Race down the track in a slower

rubber bobsled in winter or a faster

bobsled on wheels in summer. In the

winter, you can experience a real full–

speed bobsled ride together with an

experienced pilot.

Prison Break (Liepaja)

Test your nerves by visiting a real

historical prison, where the first inmates

served their sentences in the 19th

century. You can challenge yourself

even further by staying overnight at one

of the prison chambers. But keep in

mind: prisoner’s meals are not served

regularly, and food is given only to those

who behave.

Golfing at the City’s Frontier

(Marupe & Vecmilgravis)

Just a few minutes from downtown Riga,

you will find two different 18–hole golf

courses in an idyllic setting. Organize a

partners’ tournament or practice your

game on the training range – anything

is possible. You can finish your event

in style with a gourmet meal at the

clubhouse restaurant.

Brewery Tour (Valmiera, Bauska,

Riga, and Tervete)

Beer brewing has a long history in

Latvia, and its ancient techniques have

been passed down from brew masters

to apprentices. The Riga district and

other Latvian regions are home to

several excellent breweries. When

visiting a particular brewery, you’ll have

the chance to learn the art of brewing as

well as taste various beers. A few of the

breweries even have meeting rooms.

Learn the Essentials of Life (Babīte,

Liepsalas, and Rūjiena)

Latvia is renowned throughout Northern

Europe for its delicious dark rye bread.

After a short drive from the city to the

idyllic countryside, you can experience

the peaceful process of bread baking.

Roll your own dough, place it in the

oven, and watch the loaf rise. You

can then bring home your very own

freshly baked bread to share with your

loved ones.

according to the style of the 1940s. Dance

and music entertainment at the grand party

that follows in the same style.

Countryside Elegance

Retro cars pick up the group from the hotel

and elegantly drive to Jurmala seaside resort

for a brunch with live harp music. Later,

having planted a corporate wine tree in

the northernmost open air vineyard of the

world, the group tastes local wine and has an

exclusive dinner in a luxurious manor house.

Crew Building

Every company floats on business waters just

like a ship on a windy night: it is more about

the crew that makes the boat overcome the

stormy waters than the vessel itself. Build

your crew with challenging activities on board

a huge Soviet fishing ship!

Cinema Riga was the first free–standing building in Riga intended exclusively for film

screening. The building has an imposing neo–baroque facade and amazingly varied

neo–rococo–style interior details. The latest renovation and reconstruction work took

place from 2006–2010. During this time, the cinema’s interior was renovated, a new

screen was installed in the Large Hall, and its stage was expanded to make it more

convenient for concerts, theatre performances, and multimedia events. The halls can

also be used for different kinds of seminars, meetings, and conferences.
