News from Baltic Country Holidays
The ERASMUS+ programme project "UPSKILL" aims at developing the skills of early drop-outs and low qualified adult through the development of an innovative short term study programme. Five partners from Turkey, Latvia, Spain, Italy and Austria have developed an analysis report on key skills for the tourism sector as well as an deriving model for the attribution of ECVET credits with key knowledge, skills and competences.
After almost 18 month of work, the “Seniors Go Rural” project presents the results of its activities. A reduced yet comprehensive list of rules and requirements sets the frame for age-group friendly tourism services. Based on these criteria, new and innovative products were created and tested. The “Silver Suitcase” logo identifies adequate services to the target group, and the associated Guest Card provides special conditions and value-added services to them.

We were glad to read in UK's "Daily Mail" that birch juice is conquering the world as one of the top health drinks. Read here.
Living in the country where there is no shortage of birch trees Latvians has collected and drunk birch sap for centuries. When you drive around Latvia in April, it is a common sight as in the photo here. The hand written signes along the roads that fresh birch sap available for purchase are also common.
