Rural tourism as a whole did not see a significant decline in bookings or tourist numbers this summer. However, guests have become more economical when it comes to food, according to the rural tourism association Lauku ceļotājs. The findings were reported by Latvian Radio.
Prices rising more slowly than costs
Businesses' expenses have risen substantially. Even so, rural tourism entrepreneurs are raising their food prices quite cautiously.
The source does not provide further details, such as specific figures on bookings, cost increases or price changes.
