Garda: record cycling ring

The whole lake for a unique riding in Europe. It is the project of the Cycling path of Garda, which has no equals abroad: thanks to an agreement between regions and ministries, it allows the connection and completion of the paths that already runs along Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino’s banks. In the end, it will be 140 kilometers reserved to cycling tourist, who will be able to complete the perimeter without ever get off the bike. A record.

 

Presented at the last International Travel Fair in Milan, the project - as explains  Mauro Parolini, Lombardy’s assessor for tourism, business and tertiary - “will turn the river banks in a cycling tourism paradise and will have great importance, because cycling tourism is a constantly growing branch all around Europe. Investing on sustainable tourism and slow mobility means opening great opportunities on the community and international market, with perspectives of widespread growth, in harmony with the landscape, for the local and the medium-small tourist companies”.

The Garda Lake offer will be a reference point for tourist lure and hospitality.

The ministry for tourism Dario Franceschini roots for the agreement: “It is an important cooperation prove between Regions and Government around a wonderful project that perfectly fits into the idea of sustainable tourism, which is the true Italian card, focused on itineraries and on a great cycling network. The Garda itinerary can also be connected to the great cycling path Venice-Turin, along the Po river, and it can really turn into a unique network in Europe.”

To point out the historical importance of such a monumental work interesting on of the most popular destination for Italian and foreign cycling tourists, some number is enough: every year, cycling holidays move 44 billion euros, 12 of which only in Germany.

Every kilometer of tourist cycling path generates an annual profit between 110 and 350.000 euros. Every year in Germany it gives a return of 16 billion euros and generates open-ended job for 300.000 people. In France, Holland and Denmark, the annual surplus value is estimated to 5,6 billion, 750 million, 400 million euros.

Therefore, investing on cycling tourism is an already safe bet.
