The Project
Dear Cyclists !
Welcome to the EcoVeloTour project - Fostering enhanced ecotourism planning along the Eurovelo cycle route network in the Danube region EcoVeloTour facilitates the development of sustainable tourism in the Danube region along EuroVelo routes via enhanced, conscious and ecologically sound framework of tourism destination management and extending cyclist tourism, unfolding neighbouring regions beyond the EuroVelo route.
The framework incorporates the concept of ecosystem services applied in the cyclist tourism planning of a region aiming at ensuring the long-term sustainability of the regions. We support cyclist ecotourism planning by creating novel guidelines, conduct a comprehensive market research in the region and put into practice the novel approach in pilot regions creating strategies with extensive stakeholder involvement. The project experience will enrich our final project results and support higher decision-maker level with policy recommendation. The project will practice active reach out to the various target group members, pass on the knowledge via workshops, conferences, or even online in e-learning format.
