CanCham's Visit Latvia Program was developed to attract people to Latvia to interact with CanCham members thereby expanding personal networks in such a manner that they can combine “business and pleasure”. It is built on our established DMC (Destination Management Coordinator) system which facilitates entering new regions and new markets. A DMC is a professional with local knowledge and expertise, working in the design and implementation of events, activities, and program logistics for a client with the purpose of developing business opportunities in a particular region for the specific client.

The idea is to visit Latvia for one week fulfilling a particular goal while enjoying some of the things that Latvia has to offer.

There are currently four initiatives under CanCham's Visit Latvia Program:

1. Medical tourism mobilizes CanCham’s health care providers and hospitality sector members. They provide a wide range of medical services locally, and offer international clients a bundle of services for a visit to Latvia to receive medical examinations, diagnostics and treatment at affordable prices, in a secure environment, and by professional and highly skilled specialists with the added benefit of being able to enjoy the cultural and scenic environment of Latvia.
