The "Garden Pearls for All" initiative is revolutionizing accessible tourism in the Estonia-Latvia border region by creating a network of accessible gardens and nature sites tailored for individuals with disabilities, limited mobility, and special needs.

Running from October 2023 to September 2026 and funded by the Interreg VI-A Estonia–Latvia Programme 2021–2027, the project aims to set new benchmarks for inclusivity through collaboration with accessibility experts and community organizations.

With plans to develop accessible tourism standards, launch an online platform for showcasing these nature spots, and offer training programs, this initiative is poised to enhance the social and educational value of public green spaces.

Explore how the project will implement 13 pilot initiatives and 4 general investment activities to ensure these "Garden Pearls" are truly accessible for all. Uncover the fascinating details to see how this project is set to redefine sustainable tourism, creating lasting impact across the region's natural landscapes.
