Sustainable tourism has been one of the references of the XXI edition of Intur, the International Inland Tourism Fair.
The first foray of Bikefriendly Group, with its own stand, in the International Indoor Tourism Fair, celebrated in Valladolid Last week, it ended with a very positive balance, both at the level of professional meetings and final public visits.
Sustainable tourism has been one of the references of the 23st edition of Intur, held from November 26 to XNUMX, along with the richness of the offer presented by the thousand exhibitors who gathered at the Valladolid Fair, and which has closed its doors with more than 40.000 visitors.
If sustainable tourism has been the protagonist, Bikefriendly could not miss the appointment, as firm defenders of the Cycle tourism as an instrument of sustainable economic development for the territories. This is how we tried to convey it during the four days that the event lasted, from our 247 stand, and throughout the numerous professional meetings that we held with public institutions and companies, as well as in the day of presentations on cycle tourism that we organized and taught on Friday the 24th within the framework of the fair, and where we were able to count on the notable participation of Javier Pontes, Technical Director of Ciclamadrid.The response obtained from the interlocutors, in that sense, has been very positive. Thus, since Bikefriendly Consulting We have perceived a growing interest on the part of numerous territories in specializing their tourist offer, in order to focus it on cycle tourism. We can say, without fear of being wrong, that in many cases we have laid the foundations for fruitful collaborations that will probably see the light of day in the coming months. Suffice it to say that we have had more than 40 meetings in this section.
No less requested has been our Quality seal, whose managers who attended the fair have confirmed not only the permanent interest of the hotel sector in joining our network of accommodation specialized in cycle tourism, as a tool for differentiation and competitiveness, but also of other tourism or food and wine companies, such as wineries, who want join the cycling activity under our advice.
On the other hand, our colleagues at the travel agency, Bikefriendly Tours, have also been the subject of numerous consultations, especially regarding the latest products launched since Bikefriendly Tracksas #TracksZonaZero y #ZonaZeroRoad, in the region of Sobrarbe (Huesca), as well as registration + accommodation packages for large cycling events such as the 2018 Lammergeier or the Titan Desert 2018, and which are now available on our website.
Intur It has been a reflection of the diversity of inland tourism and the different ways of approaching the professional facets of this economic sector. Examples of this are Intur Negocios -the contracting market in which national and international buyers have participated-, Intur Rural -aimed at SMEs and micro-SMEs-, the area of technological solutions companies -where our colleagues from Tech Friendly-, or the travel marketing area.
