Every year the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Latvia is chosen by an increasing number of international students who want to spend a semester or the whole academic year here in Riga. 37 international students are taking the course Leisure and Tourism Management with the lecturer Kristine Berzina and within this course students need to make practical assignments in order to have a better knowledge about the course. I talked to Mustafa Enes Tepe from Turkey, Kangil Kim, Hyung Kim and Ji Yoon Song from South Korea to find out their impression about Riga and their studies. What was the assignment? We had to make groups of 2 – 4 people (there were 14 groups in total) and we had to make a practical research on how Riga inhabitants can help tourists who are lost. We had to pretend that we are confused tourists – an obligatory requirement was that we had a map – in order to find out how helpful are local people in helping us – by giving direction and other things
