The Regional Operational Programme 2007‑13 will finance sites with tourism potential (both urban and rural locations), which belong to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) patrimony, national cultural patrimony, as well as the urban cultural patrimony, according to the Romanian Law.
Indicative operations will focus on:
—
restoring, protecting and preserving world cultural heritage and related infrastructure (Churches of Moldavia, Monastery of Horezu, the villages with fortified churches in Transylvania, the Dacian fortresses of the Orastie mountains, historic centre of Sighisoara, the wooden churches of Maramures, Danube Delta, etc.);
—
restoring, protecting and preserving national cultural patrimony and related infrastructure, with an important tourist potential (restoring buildings with traditional architectural elements, street network, cultural centres, museums, parking, roads, etc.) in order to introduce them in tourist circuits;
—
restoring, protecting and preserving the urban cultural patrimony.
The programme is managed by the Ministry of Regional Development and an open call for projects was launched in 2008. The projects have to be submitted to the Regional Development Agency located in the region where the project is located. More details are available on: www.inforegio.ro website.
