Once an exclusive spa and vacation resort for the Russian elite, today the Baltic region of northern Europe has become a popular mecca for Continental tourists and a favorite cruise destination for Americans. It is the EU’s fastest growing economic region. Whether traveling for leisure or business, the Baltics offer unique opportunities for every palate, personality and pocketbook. From five-star luxury and chic boutique hotels to hunting lodges to restored manor homes to rustic campgrounds or mid-winter sleigh rides to remote teepees, in the Baltics the options are endless—and in many ways still thrillingly undiscovered. Where else can visitors enjoy majestic forest and mountain settings, eco-excursions, fashionable shopping, sophisticated dining, and authentic folk traditions, while also discovering fascinating historical remnants of former Soviet occupation? This informative seminar which will include presentations, consultations, brochures, videos, regional cuisine and performers and more will offer a brief glimpse of the many facets of this exotic travel destination.
