There is an increasing interest in old horticultural plant cultivars and their products as natural and cultural heritage objects across the Europe as well in Latvia and Lithuania. Potential tourists in Programme area are lost due to lack of information, absence of developed routes. Potential objects with horticultural heritage are not prepared for tourists needs. The overall objective of the project is to increase attractiveness and accessibility of old horticultural plant collections as cultural and natural heritage. The best experience and specific competences of research institutes, countryside tourism associations, and museums from both countries will be combined for achievement of project aims and target groups: public, national and international tourism service providers, educational organisations, public authorities, SMEs. Project will develop a new tourism product - Heritage garden tour with 6 route itineraries, aiming on awareness for preservation of natural heritage horticultural plants. Heritage processing products from fruits and vegetables will be adapted to modern needs. Routes enriched with processing product demonstration will help to overcome tourism seasonality. Heritage gardens tourism product development guidelines will be a helpful guide for horticulture tourism providers in order to diversify their services. Tourism map of Heritage garden tour will be created, suitable for cycling and driving with relevant descriptions of clustering services: sites to visit, available services, including food and accommodation. During the project, sustainable improvement of infrastructure of cultural and natural heritage objects will be performed and a historical orchard developed at Rundale Palace museum, attractive information for visitors established at the heritage fruit, vegetable and flowering plant collections of the Institutes of Horticulture in both countries. Enriched collections will serve recreational, educational and research purposes. Two brochures, a booklet and flyers will be prepared for dissemination of project achievements and information on natural and cultural heritage objects of Latvia and Lithuania, their historical value showing need of preservation of horticultural objects.
