Project has ambitions to revise the industrial heritage resources in our regions and to build the tourism product – joint route with thematic sub-routes (mills and hydroelectric power stations, old manufacturing sites, railway heritage, lighthouses, water towers), which demonstrate industrial heritage and tell the history in an attractive and participatory way. Development of industrial heritage tourism is recognized by European Commission as vehicle for sustainable development. Industrial heritage as tourism resource has not been on the everyday “agenda” for the tourism developers in Latvia and Estonia. Developing the common network of industrial heritage sites in Latvia and Estonia and combining the sites into the tourism route, would allow increase competitiveness of destinations, diversify tourism offer and attract more visitors. The reason to cooperate and develop the route is based in common history of social economic development in Latvia and Estonia – thus is resulting in very similar industrial heritage. Project objective is to revive industrial heritage for the tourism development through: - Awareness raising about the industrial heritage value and importance in diversification of tourism offer in our regions; - Establishing the cooperation network among tourism related stakeholders of the industrial heritage in Latvia and Estonia and building the bridge with European Network of Industrial heritage; - Development and improvement of industrial heritage sites according to the nowadays visitors’ needs and expectations - in a live, attractive way both - with entertainment and education elements; - Combining the sites into joint industrial heritage route and promoting among the local and foreign target markets. Project will be launched with networking and cooperation activities, which are essential to bring together owners and managers of industrial heritage sites, as well to involve related stakeholders – state institutions and Non-governmental organizations, which deal with industrial heritage - preservation and protection, tourism development. Networking activities will be supported also with competence building initiatives - regional seminars, cross-border thematic workshops, as well mentoring for sites - to provide required knowledge, so that sites are developed in line with the latest trends in tourism product development and taking into account expectations and demands of market - visitors. In total 26 industrial heritage sites shall have improvements and will develop tourism products: 1) Mills and hydroelectric power stations - 5 sites that show and demonstrate, how energy was produced historically and how it was used to produce products f.e. flour. Tourists are attracted by authentic machinery, preserved buildings, locally made products. 2) Old manufacturing sites - These sites are former factories of industrial era (19th /20th century), that attracts visitors by enabling them to explore production process, to participate in workshops, buy the products. Project unites 9 sites - the one, which still have ongoing production, and the one, which serve only for tourism purposes and offer to explore industrial heritage history. 3) Railway heritage - Railway history in Latvia and Estonia is dated back in to 19th century. It completely changed concepts of overland traffic and considerably encouraged the development of manufacturing. Impressive railway stations, railwaymens dwelling houses and other civil engineering structures prove the significance of the railway lines of those times. Project involves 5 sites related to this thematic of industrial heritage. 4) Lighthouses are landmarks of the coastline, and important industrial heritage, because of the ways they were manufactured. More and more lighthouses are turned to tourism sites, open for visitors to see marine and coastline landscape and learn about navigation. 4 sites are involved in project. 5) Water towers - nowadays watertowers are witnesses of former water-supply systems and may satisfy curious visitors - they can serve as watching towers, meanwhile offering for visitors also explanation, how water supply was ensured to the area's households. In the project 3 water towers are included with the tourism product development activities. Marketing activities are aimed to provide greater awareness about the whole region and to increase number of visitors. The approach of content marketing is selected - everything begins from awareness, then visitations and finally good emotion - fresh stories, photos, creative map and image guide, virtual tour, Weekend tours, joint marketing networking activities and prmotional tours for mass media will be implemented.
