Abstract

The purpose of this article is to determine what forms of active leisure and tourism
activities are being chosen by representatives of various groups of society in Lithuania and to
find out the importance of Nordic walking in the context of active tourism and leisure. The
pandemic, which lasted for several years, limited the opportunities of Lithuanians to travel
abroad, but encouraged the search for new forms of leisure in Lithuania. A wider offer of local
excursions appeared, more and more Lithuanians became interested in Nordic walking and
other forms of active leisure. The research showed that a majority of respondents take part in
hiking, water sports and cycling. All these activities are extremely popular during the warmer
seasons. Meanwhile, Nordic walking is just beginning to establish itself as a popular form of
active leisure
