Resorts in the Republic of Lithuania are residential areas with natural healing factors (mineral water, healing mud, health-friendly climates, recreational areas and water bodies) and a special infrastructure enabling them to use these factors. Currently, there are 4 resorts in the country: Birštonas, Druskininkai, Neringa and Palanga. The purpose of this article is to carry out an analysis of the anthropogenic landscape of the resorts of the Republic of Lithuania in 2007-2018. During the preparation of the article, the following scientific methods were used: literature analysis, determination and evaluation of the current situation, grouping method, comparison method, analytical and statistical analysis methods, logical analysis, graphical method. The analysis showed that the anthropogenic landscape of the three resorts increased: in Druskininkai – by 362.65 ha or 18.17%, in Neringa – by 113.43 ha or 52.78%, in Palanga – by 190.74 or 15.09%. The anthropogenic landscape of Birštonas has decreased by 41.11 ha or 5.03%. Over the past decades, with the intensification of anthropogenesis and its accompanying urbanization, the importance of the natural environment has become more and more understood, and landscape research, which is associated with the assessment of naturalness and its problems, is becoming more and more relevant.

Historical and current development tendencies of medical tourism in Latvia, economic and geographical accessibility of Latvia for medical tourists, the high acknowledgement by the European Parliament Committee on Transport and Tourism on the potential of Latvia of becoming one of the largest medical tourism destination points, allow us to evaluate the potential for medical tourism among the priority countries for Latvia. Unfortunately, the lack of further analysis of potential limits the development of medical tourism strategy and monitoring. The research goal: determination of export potential of medical tourism services in the priority countries for Latvia. The research showed that there is a potential in every of the given countries: in Norway – rehabilitation and insert of acrylic implants; in Sweden – endovenous laser surgery and eyelid surgery; in Finland – rehabilitation and breast enlargement; in Ireland – rehabilitation and eyelid surgery; in Great Britain – rehabilitation and eyelid surgery. Results of the SWOT analysis indicated that in order to reach the export goals the existing drawbacks to the provision of medical tourism services in Latvia have to be averted while amplifying the use of the comparative advantages of Latvia.
