There is also lack of information about cross-border heritage: sites, crafts, traditions etc.OBJECTIVES: To contribute to the preservation of cultural-historical heritage and promotion of tourism through the implementation of joint actions.

A number of tourism conferences, cultural heritage seminars, trainings and craftsmen plain airs were organised in Daugavpils and Grodno.2 international scientific expeditions were organised with participation of around 300 heritage and tourism experts, history students, teachers and craftsmen from the two countries.
