Culture mark "Latvian heritage"

The Sign of Latvian Heritage was established at the initiative of Baltic country holidays, and it is presented to tourism-related entrepreneurs who preserve and promote Latvian cultural and lifestyle heritage by presenting it to visitors. The sign indicates locations at which owners are prepared to show things, tell stories, offer Latvian foods, teach crafts and skills, and celebrate Latvian holidays. The sign of Latvian heritage is received by owners of accommodations, farms, crafts workshops and rural saloons, organisers of events related to Latvian traditions, museums, owners of collections, and specialists in the areas of crafts.
