TRAVEL TALK: Innovations for the boom in cycle tourism
TRAVEL TALK 2021 - Call for Participation
The bicycle industry is in motion and cycle tourism is booming – and more so than ever due to Covid-19. As part of a call for participation, the search is on for innovative projects dealing with the interface between the bicycle and travel sectors for the 20th edition of the international cycle tourism convention EUROBIKE TRAVEL TALK on 3 September 2021.
Since 2002, EUROBIKE TRAVEL TALK has been bringing together international representatives from the field of tourism and the bicycle business as well as media professionals and bloggers under the auspices of the leading global bicycle trade fair EUROBIKE in Friedrichshafen. The 20th edition of the cycle tourism congress is taking place on 3 September 2021 as a live event featuring presentations and a range of contents, with participants being invited to network and exchange ideas on the latest trends and innovations.
Focus on micro-adventures
Since the advent of travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic – if not before – the holiday on the doorstep or ‘staycation’ has become a megatrend. The term micro-adventure describes exploratory cycle trips in local surroundings both on- and off-road. While the tourism industry is having to struggle with opening strategies, hygiene regulations and bed capacities in order to ensure guests of an attractive, yet safe holiday, the demand for and take-up of “new” and fun bike forms, such as the gravel bike, E-MTB and cargo bike, are going through the roof. What role does cycle tourism play within the context of a safe holiday, and does the trend towards micro-adventure represent a sustainable prospect for the travel sector?
The 20th edition of TRAVEL TALK creates synergies between the bicycle and tourism industries to facilitate an exchange of learning that will enable the two sides to cooperate and develop pedal-powered travel.
Call to submit ideas for cycle tourism
The call for participation is seeking inspiring and innovative projects and ideas for cycle tourism to be included as possible items on the agenda for this year’s TRAVEL TALK. It is open for submissions until 15 June 2021. By focusing on the topic of micro-adventure “on-road / off-road[JH1] ” and implementing this in various formats such as impulse talks, pitches, panel discussions, workshops and networking sessions, the organisers from Messe Friedrichshafen and the Berlin-based bicycle agency Velokonzept are aiming to assemble a broad range of impressions for trade visitors from the bike and tourism industries.
