    Position Paper No. 4 30 May 2019 FICIL Position Paper on the Transport sector issues 1. Executive Summary Effectiveness and transparency of the transport industry and related policies are key components that ensure solid economic growth and stability in regards to the transport sector. The Foreign Investors Council in Latvia (FICIL) appreciates the initiative taken by the Ministry of Transport in outlining future plans to improve said sector, with intention to tackle issues that have been apparent for many years. While looking at the current and future investors, it is important to emphasise sustainable mobility to enable economic growth and promote predictability, integration, continuity, territorial cohesion and openness within the transportation network of Latvia. Further effort is required to ensure a transparent and effective transport sector in Latvia, while also looking forward to the future opportunities that large-scale transport infrastructure projects will bring. FICIL has identified underlying concerns affecting the business environment and investment climate in Latvia when it comes to the current state of the transport sector, as well as awaiting future investment in connection to large scale transport infrastructure projects being realised in the Baltic States. To improve the performance of the transport sector, FICIL would like to highlight these areas requiring action: 1. In terms of improving the existing transportation network environment: 1.1. Analyse the most suitable and effective governance model for transport sector enterprises. Establishment of good corporate governance principles with the goal to improve efficiency, transparency and competitiveness; 1.2. Improve quality, connectivity and maintenance of existing infrastructure; 1.3. Enforcement of existing rules and legislation to reduce shadow economy in transport sector.

  • INT-HERIT Sigulda
    OPERATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK Sigulda The Development Strategy of Sigulda Castle Complex 2 Introduction The main challenge presented by the Development Strategy of Sigulda Castle Complex is revitalization of this historical site – Sigulda Castle Complex. Time has left many layers here from when the castle was built back in the 13th century through to the time it lost its importance as a military fortification in the 18th century. In 19th century the outer castle was flourishing and the castle ruins had become a popular place for lovers to go on romantic walks. In its grounds the Kropotkin family built the New Castle and established the manor centre. The traditions of tourism in Sigulda were thus initiated. After surviving the World War I, the New Castle was given to the Latvian Association of Journalists and Writers. The manor buildings and the New Castle underwent major renovations in 1937 thus transforming the interior of the castle into a pearl of Romanticism leaving the outer facade as a sole example of the castle’s historical neo- Gothic appearance. After World War II, for almost 40 years, access to the castle grounds was restricted and medical institutions were installed in the buildings. The revitalization of Sigulda Castle Complex was a dream by Siguldians for many years. Initially it seemed almost impossible as the site was in poor condition demanding way too much resourced from a small municipality of about 17 000 inhabitants. However, when the vision is clear and shared by majority even the most daring dreams may be reachable. Participation in URBACT Programme was seen as one of the steps for a successful implementation of the Development Strategy of Sigulda Castle Complex.

  • Summary of the Development Vision 2030 for Tourism and Transport Corridor of the VIA Hanseatica Route
    Summary of the development vision 2030 for tourism and transport corridor of the VIA Hanseatica route VIA Hanseatica is a historically ancient tourism route connecting Russia, Estonia and Latvia. This route is based on historic transport and trade routes from St. Petersburg through Tartu to Riga and further to Western Europe. VIA Hanseatica and its adjacent area serve as an important tourism development corridor, however, one of the limiting factors for achieving its full potential is the availability and quality of transport services. Both local and foreign tourists, looking for an alternative means of transport for personal road transport, face the fragmentation of the proposed transport solutions, the lack of digitally available information, as well as the inconvenience of public transport use and the incompatibility of scheduling times, which hampers convenient movement between several tourism sites in the vicinity of the transport corridor. Also when choosing personal road transport, tourists face different barriers, such as the quality of infrastructure (road condition, lack of road signs). Picture No 1: Area of the tourist route VIA Hanseatica and its external reach On the tourism route VIA Hanseatica, the transport flow in the Vidzeme planning region is moving along the country's main road A3 Incukalns – Valmiera – Estonian border (Valka), the railway line Riga – Lugaji – the state border, as well as the functionally linked section of the road A2 Incukalns – Drabesi and section of the road P20 Drabesi – Cesis – Valmiera, including the direction of Smiltene - Valka. The vision of VIA Hanseatica for 2030 highlights its connecting function and its mobility: VIA Hanseatica tourism corridor is the connecting wire between the most demanding destinations – Riga, Gauja National Park and Tartu, which provides extensive, convenient, efficient and environmentally friendly mobility opportunities.
