The EuroVelo 1, a unique cycling-tourism destination for a green growth

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Atlantic Area

Date of latest update: 2023-08-10

Description

Description (EN):

Europe is the world’s leading destination for cycle tourism. Cycle tourism represents a great opportunity of green growth for the blue economy. The EuroVelo 1 has for sure a place and a role to play in cycle tourism development in the Atlantic Area. The AtlanticOnBike project aims at achieving positive economic outcomes thanks to a transnational cycle tourism strategy based on the natural and cultural assets of the EuroVelo1, one of the fifteen long distance European cycle routes, the so called Atlantic Route. This project expects to contribute to a low carbon tourism development (car free tourism). Its rationale is to stimulate, to structure, to promote and to take part in the development of a cycle touristic offer along EuroVelo 1 in order to generate and monitor economic benefits at territorial and transnational level. AtlanticOnBike should generate positive impacts on local economy by increasing visits, boosting local economy and creating new activities and new jobs in tourism sector. It will provide a new touristic offer accessible for a large range of population but also an attractive leisure destination for locals. The ambition is to create a duplicable reference for transnational cycling tourism and build common and transferable tools for a real European analysis of economic benefits.

Achievements (EN):

Europe is the world’s leading destination for cycle tourism. Cycle tourism represents a great opportunity for green growth and the blue economy. The ATLANTICONBIKE project aims to develop and promote EuroVelo 1 - Atlantic Coast Route, one of the fifteen long-distance European cycle routes and the longest route of the EuroVelo network, running along the continent’s coastline from the north of Norway to the south of Portugal totalling over 11,000 km. The project developed a transnational cycle tourism strategy based on the natural and cultural assets of the EuroVelo1, thus contributing to a low carbon tourism development (car-free tourism), to generate and monitor economic benefits at territorial and transnational levels. ATLANTICONBIKE created a touristic marketing strategy based on co-creation, and created joint transnational touristic products (such as cycling and gastronomy, biking and fishing, suitable circuits) accessible to a wide public within a sustainable design. It also ensured consistency of services provided along the route (as accommodation, rental, and tourist sites) to customers, by establishing a common method for evaluating touristic visits and economic benefits, and by creating a transnational platform for data sharing and proceeding. ATLANTICONBIKE enhanced the emergence of EuroVelo 1 ambassadors’ cities network that will foster the development of local policies in favor of cycling mobility, and the creation of a bicycle community for the dissemination of cycle tourism and trips. For the partnership, the project is the guarantee of a capitalisation of best practices and a training program implemented for and by all the involved stakeholders. This project is then generating positive impacts on the local economy by increasing visits, boosting the local economy, and creating new activities and new jobs in this sector, by providing new touristic offer access to a large range of the population. "The Atlantic coast route is a response to the new expectations of citizens. Indeed, this unprecedented health crisis has revealed an awareness of the ecological transition, particularly through bicycle mobility. It has also accelerated the need for sustainable tourism, which is one of the main objectives of this project”, Jean -Jacques Lasserre President of Conseil Départemental des Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
