Dear Readers,
Welcome to Visit Estonia's March newsletter for the travel trade!
Nature is starting to wake up and the days are getting longer. With these good news already in store, we are pleased to announce that Fitch Ratings, one of the top three credit rating agencies internationally, has affirmed that Estonia has experienced one of the fastest post-pandemic recoveries in the EU, which brought its economy back on the pre-crisis trajectory in 2Q21 and means that Estonia's economy has weathered the shock well.
We also want to mention the situation in Europe. Although Estonia is located not too far from Russia, we live our daily lives like other European countries do. Estonia supports Ukraine together with the rest of Europe, everyday life in Estonia is fully operational and even though we admit it is difficult to reassure anyone from the distance, we invite you to you stay open minded: you can come here for events and holidays without worries.
Some other small victories Estonia can be proud of are that the smallest hotel ever, Maidla Nature Resort (pictured above), won the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture and a Tallinn's book retailer, Rahva Raamat, was named Bookstore of the year in London. Come and check them out yourself!
Estonia is welcoming all fully vaccinated travellers without any restrictions (no tests, no isolation),latest entry requirements here. All covid restrictions for entering restaurants, museums, spas, hotels, etc. have been lifted and opening hours back to the regular in Estonia. The talk is that also mask requirement will be dropped very soon.
