With construction of promenades in historical medieval parts in Narva and Ivangorod riverside zones become attractive recreation areas, that gives strong impetus for further development of promenades as tourist products. Narva (Lead Partner) and Ivangorod municipalities are project partners in this project. Committee for physical culture, sports and tourism of Kingisepp region (Russia), Ida-Viru County Government, Environmental Board of Estonia and Heritage Conservation Board of Estonia and Foundation Narva Museum are project associated partners. Main project activities are: management and coordination; information and visibility; integrated construction of promenades in Ivangorod and Narva, organisation of information tour for journalists, project partners, potential investors, stakeholders, tourist companies. Following European Commission Monitoring mission recommendations partners included into the project fund-raising and promotion activities in order to find sources of funding for construction of promenade parts not covered by this project. Due to large-scale volume of works and their cost project partners split construction of promenades into stages and fixed areas for the first construction stage. In Narva it is an upper level of the promenade located in the Dark Garden, in Ivangorod – the promenade northern part. Main target groups of the project are tourists and visitors, local population, local authorities, potential investors, tourist companies, regional and state authorities.
