The municipalities of Aizkraukle, Biržai, and Jēkabpils are set to participate in the Balttour 2025 international tourism exhibition, showcasing the Selonia region as part of the cross-border cooperation project “Weekend in Village.” This initiative aims to highlight the region’s diverse rural tourism opportunities and attract a broader audience.

Exhibition attendees will have the opportunity to discover the region’s authentic rural experiences, traditional craftsmanship, and unique tourism offerings tailored to eco-conscious travelers.
Through the “Weekend in Village” project, the municipalities of Aizkraukle, Biržai, and Jēkabpils are working collaboratively to develop sustainable tourism products that preserve local heritage and promote long-term economic growth. The project focuses on fostering cross-border cooperation, enhancing the skills of local service providers, and increasing tourist numbers through innovative marketing strategies.
Key Objectives of Participation:
- Showcasing Regional Tourism: Presenting Selonia as a distinctive travel destination with a focus on rural experiences and cultural heritage.
- Expanding Network Opportunities: Engaging with tourism professionals, stakeholders, and potential investors to foster future partnerships, as well as strengthening the cooperation ties between all three partners.
- Enhancing Regional Visibility: Promoting Selonia’s tourism potential to a wider audience and increasing brand awareness.
During the event, representatives from the three municipalities will engage with exhibition visitors, travel agencies, and media representatives, providing firsthand insights into the region’s tourism potential. The exhibition booth will feature interactive presentations, promotional materials, and immersive experiences to showcase the unique aspects of the Selonia countryside.
