Abstract: Abstract— The Baltic macroregion is one of the developed and dynamic (albeit with difficulties typical for 2020–2023) growing tourism regions that attract the attention of researchers. However, as a whole, and, in particular, in comparative geographical terms, it has not been sufficiently studied in depth. The article assesses the territorial features of the level and dynamics of tourism development in this macroregion. To assess the existing differences, the study used comparable data from Rosstat and Eurostat, as well as information from literary sources. An assessment of the level of tourism development and its specific territorial features is given as of 2019, before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which interrupted the dynamic development of tourism infrastructure and the increase in tourist flows in all countries. Baltic macroregion countries, as well as the Baltic regions of Russia, Germany and Poland, were grouped according to the level and dynamics of tourism development. It was revealed that the rich natural and cultural–historical potential of the Baltic territories of Baltic region countries has led to a positive dynamics in the development of tourism infrastructure as a whole and tourist flows, including from domestic tourism. The changes that have taken place in 2020–2021 are briefly characterized.
