Latvia is open to leisure tourists and currently looks like a generally low-risk destination. The main friction points are border-security concerns near Belarus/Russia, some targeted aviation restrictions, and ordinary sanctions compliance rather than broad travel disruption. Visitor numbers are holding roughly steady, so tourism is active rather than collapsed.
