Bicycle tourism is emerging in our territories as a major tourism development issue, at the heart of the concerns of private and public stakeholders.
A transition is underway, as knowledge of the clientele grows and professionals become involved. In order to extend this collective movement, the Ardennes Tourist Development Agency and the Ardennes Departmental Council organized the third meeting of Cycling Tourism in the Ardennes Tuesday December 5, 2023 at the Vieilles Forges Congress Center in Les Mazures.
The seminar gave pride of place to the exchange between the different professionals present: developers, promotion organizations, accommodation providers, restaurateurs, rental companies, repairers, etc., as well as to elected officials and technicians from communities who wish to continue their development using bicycle tourism as a lever.
