In 2016, the Tourism Development State Agency (TAVA) was added to LIAA. The aim of the department is to promote Latvian tourism products and services. == Business incubators ==

In October 2016, 11 business incubators and 9 support units were active in Latvia (Bauska, Daugavpils, Jelgava, Jēkabpils, Jūrmala, Kuldīga, Liepāja, Madona, Ogre, Rēzekne, Sigulda, Talsi, Valmiera, Ventspils, and a creative industries incubator in Riga). In 2024, the LIAA was forced to stop providing funding to startups, due to the Economic Ministry's failure to introduce legal amendments required by the updated EU "de minimis" regulation. ==References==
