Latvian Country Tourism Association "Lauku ceļotājs" has developed a brochure "Tasty Cheese Tour" (Gardā siera ceļš). The title "Sierzinis" is awarded to farms and manufacturing facilities that prove mastery in cheese making, can talk about the process with visitors, and offer samples for tasting or buying. The title is also awarded to rural saloons, restaurants and other venues that offer locally made cheeses on their menus.
Latvijas lauku tūrisma asociācija “Lauku ceļotājs” uzsākusi darbu pie bukleta "Lauku labumi" - tajā tiks apkopota informācija par lauku saimniecībām, kas atvērtas apmeklētājiem/tūristiem un piedāvā ekskursiju pa saimniecību, nogaršot un/vai iegādāties saražotos lauku labumus, izmēģināt amatu prasmes u.c.
Lauku ceļotājs has created a map of the Latvian, Estonian Heritage – a map with 150 magnificent places in Latvia and Estonia where customs which have been passed from one generation to another blend into modern life – whether these are grandmother’s potato pancakes, made not counting calories, or a clear homebrew with the nowadays mandatory excise stamps, and a tag of the owner-manufacturer, or the traditional sign of Jumis on the roofs of new buildings. The map encourages people to visit craftsmen and centres of craftsmen, masters of local and traditional dishes and drinks, small rural food manufacturing companies, fishermen, sites of annual traditional celebrations (such as solstice), farmsteads where visitors can participate in farm works and children can learn more about domestic animals, to visit organic and health holdings, pubs, museums and collections, historic centres of towns, ethnographic villages and territories, events with a theme related to history and reconstructions of historical events, sacred sites and buildings, castles and manors, traditional places for buying souvenirs, nature trails and routes. The map was composed by Lauku ceļotājs cooperating with the Estonian Rural Tourism Association (Eesti maaturism), the map is available in Latvian, Russian, English, German, Estonian, and Finnish.

Путеводитель разработан в качестве практического наставника и источника информации, который следует брать с собой во время путешествия. Путеводитель предназначен для людей, которые ведут наблюдение за дикой природой, интересуются различными культурными и историческими памятниками, а также для активных туристов, которые передвигаются по национальному парку пешком, на велосипеде, лодке или на лыжах. Не забыты и автомобилисты. В путеводителе содержится необходимая информация о наиболее известных природных и культурно-исторических ценностях и достопримечательностях четырех Латвийских Национальных парков. К информации о каждом парке добавлен картографический материал, а к наиболее интересным объектам - координаты, чтобы легче ориентироваться.
Современная информация быстро устаревает, поэтому перед путешествием уточните ключевые моменты в центрах для посетителей соответствующих территорий или туристической информации. Объекты для осмотра, включенные в путеводитель, во время работы над путеводителем обследованы, а маршруты – протестированы в природе.
A new catalogue is published, where you will find an information about 338 accommodation sites in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. More about the catalogue and other publications read here.
