Accommodation Hotels Since independence there has been a scramble from Western and Estonian firms to turn the old state-run hotels into modern Western-standard enterprises. Many more joint ventures with firms from all over Western Europe and the United States will ensure that the standard of accommodation in Estonia rapidly reaches Western European levels. Outside Tallinn, which for the time being is the main location of the current expansion, Estonia enjoys an adequate range of acceptable accommodation, left over from the pre-independence days or built by Estonian entrepreneurs, including large hotels and smaller pension-type establishments. For more details, contact the Estonian Hotel and Restaurant Association, Kirku 6, 10130, Tallinn (tel: (6) 411 428; fax: (6) 411 425; e-mail: info@ehrl.ee; website: www.ehrl.ee). Camping There are over 80 campsites in Estonia. The most popular include: Camping & Motel Peoleo, 12km (7.5 miles) south of Tallinn; Camping Valgerand in Pärnu; and Camping Malvaste on Hiiumaa Island. Standards are improving, though not yet as high as in Western European countries. Rural Accommodation The Estonian Rural Tourism Association provides accommodation in the countryside across Estonia, from farm-stays to local bed & breakfasts. For further information, contact the Estonian Rural Tourism Association, Vilmsi 53b, 10147 Tallinn (tel: (6) 009 999; e-mail: eesti@maaturism.ee; website: www.maaturism.ee). Youth Hostels The majority of youth hostels have saunas and seminar facilities.
