The overall project objective is enhancing the role of military heritage tourism in economic development by extending the Baltic military heritage tourism product in Lithuania and South Latvia.

• 4 military heritage tourism sites improved with innovative solutions;
• 5 partner organisations cooperating during and after the project to develop the cross-border military heritage tourism product.

Visitors in the programme area will benefit from qualitative touristic experiences. SMEs in tourism will gain economic benefits from tourism.

The cross-border approach takes balanced input from all partners and strong local involvement to ensure the quality and integrity of the product. Military heritage tourism product on pan-Baltic scale is a new concept. The project will join the individual sites and objects in rural areas in a stakeholder network that enables cooperation between organisations, information exchange, and learning from each other. 

Total project budget is 641 927,48 EUR. Co-funding of European Regional Development Fund is 513 541,98 EUR.
