Conference Program

In the opening presentation we introduce the first Online CycleSummit. You will get a brief introduction to the software, communication rules and our technical support. Following: Jesús Freire Valderrama, Business Development Director at the European Cyclists Federation with a short keynote presentation titled #RestartCycleTourism for a safe COVID-19 recovery and a more sustainable future for Europe. European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) #RestartCycleTourism campaign seeks to raise awareness, promote cycle tourism and secure strategic investments in this safe, sustainable and healthy option during the pandemic recovery and beyond. There is much more potential for cycle tourism and leisure cycling, but substantial investment is required to fully realise it. We call on the EU to make at least €3bn in funding available for investments in sustainable, environmentally friendly cycle tourism.
