Is it possible to improve accessibility and promote green tourism through the integration of local cycling routes with major international itineraries? We will discuss this and much more during the event dedicated entirely to cycle tourism and sustainable territorial development: Eastern Venice by Bicycle: Best Practices in Cycle Tourism Interbike.
The meeting will take place on 20th November 2024, from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm, at the charming Cortino del Castello di Fratta in Fossalta di Portogruaro, in the province of Venice.
