Personally, I see tourism as a global phenomenon, influencing economic, social and political life of each country. Since I am Lithuanian myself, it is magical to invite foreigners to discover my homeland. There is always the admiration, while witnessing the prime reaction of foreigners who come to visit Baltic States. Following the common stereotype, they might travel here to explore the poor and grey Eastern Europe. But, eventually, they leave enchanted by the local architecture, purity and beauty of nature, modern lifestyle and availability to use English everywhere.
Baltic countries are extremely interesting, since they are in search of their identity. Unlike Western Europe here lots of the fields are still waiting to be discovered. To explore and achieve. This is what traveling is about for me.
