#RestartCycleTourism for a safe COVID-19 recovery and a more sustainable future for Europe.
Jesús Freire Valderrama, Business Development Director at the European Cyclists Federation was keynote speaker at the latest CycleSummit online conference.
In this meeting we have time for Q&A and an open discussion.
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.

Your Brand Is Your Land
Many businesses value their tangible assets (such as property and equipment) higher than what gives them real value, such as their customer loyalty and uniqueness. Steve Dissects why a strong brand is so important for any size tourism operator
From Newcastle, Australia, Steve got his travel industry experience as the COO of London Bicycle Tour Company, and Director of Cyclecities.tours – a global partnership of city bike tour operators. Since its inception in 2011, Cycle Cities has grown into a thriving, but close-knit network of 40 bike tour operators. In 2015 he started annual ‘Symposiums’ for Cycle Cities partner companies. Six symsposiums have so far been held (Berlin, London, Nice, Budapest, Munich and Athens).
