Estonia in bid to raise UK tourist profile

In a move that could boost investment in tourist property in the country, a body from Estonia has announced it is holding a promotional event in London next month.

On October 9th the Estonian national tourist office is to run a show at the London Guildhall, which will include a workshop in the afternoon and a presentation for tour operators in the evening.

The body commented: "Estonia is becoming increasingly important among UK consumers looking for something a bit different."

An increase in UK tourist numbers could boost the prospects for tourist lettings, something that may appeal to property investors.

Earlier this week it was suggested that the most attractive bit of Estonia to visit lies away from the capital city of Tallinn.

China Daily described the country's Baltic islands as "charming" and noted that they are already an established popular destination for Swedes and Germans, KMS Baltic reported.
