EuroVelo & Cycling Tourism Conference 2024 - Viborg

Tuesday, February 27, 2024
The 2024 edition of the EuroVelo & Cycling Tourism Conference took place in Viborg, Denmark, from 23 to 25 September.

The EuroVelo & Cycling Tourism Conference is the prime event bringing together all actors involved in the cycling tourism sector. It offers an excellent platform for debate and exchange about the latest developments and ideas in the world of cycling tourism, EuroVelo and cycle route networks. The 2024 edition was held in Viborg, a town in the centre of the Jutland peninsula, in Denmark. Located on EuroVelo 3 – Pilgrims Route, Viborg represents a key meeting point on the ancient road Hærvejen. The event is co-organised by the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) and the Municipality of Viborg.

By exploring the theme ‘Legacy and Localhood’, the Conference put people at the centre. Visitors’ experience of a destination is more meaningful if there is contact with locals, and by interacting with visitors on a bicycle, locals can be even more inspired to make cycling part of their lives, as a daily mode of transport and leisure. The Conference reflected on how to engage the local communities, how to approach the diversity of cycling tourism, and on the key to sustainable local development.
