The story of nordic Manors

SILMU ry, in partnership with the Latvian Leader Brasla, is launching the Manor Project. This initiative aims to develop new tourism services and enhance awareness of the region’s manors through a cultural-historical lens. Alongside existing tourist manors, there are potential sites in the area for developing additional services. The project will run from 2024 to 2026.

Project objectives:

  1. Assess Needs: Identify the requirements for developing tourism services related to the region’s manors and evaluate the need for a unified marketing strategy.
  2. Develop Services: Create tourism services tied to the manors through cultural history, including workshops and seminars.
  3. Enhance Marketing and Accessibility: Improve the promotion and accessibility of manor services, organize manor tours in the region, and market these tours both locally and beyond.
  4. Foster International Cooperation: Develop international partnerships and establish new networks through study trips to Latvia.
  5. Promote Sustainability: Integrate principles of responsibility and sustainable development (economic, sociocultural, ecological, and local) into practices. Plan from the outset how materials and expertise will be sustained and maintained.
