European outdoor and cycling tourism developments

Overview

Developments in European outdoor tourism include new regional agreements and the release of specialized travel guides for cycling and walking.

In Italy, the Territorial Promotion Agency of Basilicata and the Italian Cycling Federation signed a memorandum of understanding in Matera to promote cycling tourism. The pact involves training cycling guides, hosting national team training camps, and remapping 1,700 km of existing routes within a mobile application. Specific training sessions for the national cyclocross team are scheduled for October 2026 along the Basilicata Coast to Coast route.

In Central and Southern Europe, new guides have been released to highlight outdoor routes. These include the Aquavelo cycling route in Slovakia, which traverses the High Tatras and Dunajec River gorges, and ‘Il Sentiero Beato Bonifacio’, a 110-kilometer walking trail connecting Trieste, Italy, to Novigrad, Croatia, via Slovenia.
