A tourist organization in the Latvian region of Kurzeme is creating a tourist route for visitors interested in Soviet military facilities, left in former republic after the collapse of the USSR, the Rosbalt news agency reports.
In 2006 a museum in Zante, a radar station in Irben, a military harbour and prison in Liepaja and the site of a show titled Soviet Charm in Kuldiga that includes test-drives of a Soviet car, a visit to a pioneer camp, a lesson in civil defense and a banquet at a Soviet restaurant will appear on Latvia’s tourist map.
The project, led by Belgian Ghent University and Brussels-based Iris Consulting, is being developed by 15 partner organizations from nine countries: Belgium, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
The partners believe their project will be a unique addition to the tourism industry. |
