Description

Description (EN):

Over the whole region, there is a distinctive natural and cultural heritage that is a valuable tourism capital of the region when used properly and it has a capacity to increase the region’s economic activity. The best way to use this heritage is by developing Greenways (GW)-non-motorized transport corridors suitable mainly for hikers and cyclists that are based on former railways, river, canals and forest paths as they attract tourists that stay for a longer time in the region and thus spend more money there. GW are new to the region. Main activities: GW Riga-Pskov joint trail improvement, to offer the visitors un-interrupted and safe possibilities to travel, including improvement of nearby historic/cultural tourism objects. Route joint promotion for local and international visitors.

Description (LV):

Visā reģionā var identificēt kopīgu, īpašu dabas un kultūras mantojuma grupu, kur to izmantojot atbildīgi, var sniegt vērtīgu ieguldījumu esošajā tūrisma kapitālā un palielināt ekonomisko aktivitāti. Viens no vislabākajiem veidiem kā šos resursus izmantot ir veidot “Zaļos ceļus” (Greenways/GW)–nemotorizētus. pastaigām un riteņbraukšanai piemērotus koridorus, kas ir veidoti tajās bijušo dzelzceļlīniju, upju kanālu un meža stigu vietās, kuras veicina tūristu piesaisti reģionā uz ilgāku laiku, patērējot vairāk naudas. GW ir jauna ideja reģionam. Galvenās aktivitātes: Lai piedāvātu apmeklētājiem iespēju ceļot ne-pārtraukti un droši, tiks veikta GW Rīga-Pleskava kopīga maršruta uzlabošana, iekļaujot tuvumā esošo kultūrvēstures objektus. Kopīga GW Rīga–Pleskava popularizēšana vietējo un starptautisko apmeklētāju vidū.

Description (RU):

Особый туристский потенциал природного и культурного наследия, характерного для общей территории проекта, при должном использовании является перспективным направлением экономического развития региона. Лучшим способом продвижения этого наследия является развитие Гринвеев (ГВ) – зеленых немоторизированных транспортных маршрутов для пеших туристов и велосипедистов, пролегающих вдоль старых железных дорог, рек, каналов и лесных троп, поскольку они привлекают туристов, которые остаются на более долгий срок, и, соответственно, оставляют больше средств. Гринвей - это новая идея для развития региона. Основные мероприятия: улучшение инфраструктуры общего маршрута ГВ Рига – Псков для беспрепятственного путешествия, включая благоустройство ближайших исторических/культурных объектов туризма, а также совместное продвижение общего маршрута для местных жителей и иностранных туристов

Expected Results (EN):

Creating a brand new and unique tourism product based on Greenways (GW) non-motorized transport corridors from Riga to Pskov (about 400 km) which is suitable for hikers and cyclists, as well as other visitors, and promotes the development of SMEs along the whole route, while at the same preserving the local heritage in an environmentaly-friendly way. At the moment it is not possible to estimate the number of visitors to the Greenways due to the lack of statistics. Within the project it is planned to set-up cycling/pedestrian counters at several locations to demontsrate the increase of visitors. The data obtained from the counters will be publically available online.

Developing GW visiting centres in Kangari and Ķeipene old railway stations, in different administrative buildings of Viļaka, д.Черёха, ГП Пыталово, д. Шабаны, developing recreation places in Gulbene incl. bridge and settin-up railbikes.
