Bicycle Tourism as a Way of Sustainable Tourism: The Case of European Union (EU)
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Today, people demonstrate the importance they give to healthy life by displaying an environmentally friendly attitude in their homes, outdoors, workp-laces and almost every area of daily life. Healthy life is now considered as a phenomenon that plays a determining role in people’s leisure activities. Bicyc-les, which people use in Europe for both transportation and tourism purposes, are seen as one of these environmentally friendly attitudes and healthy living tools. Although the use of bicycles is older, the momentum it has gained in Eu-rope especially in Europe has attracted the attention of the academy in recent years. However, it is considered that academic researches related to bicycle tourism are not sufficient. At this point, the aim of the study is to examine the current status of bicycle tourism, projects related to bicycle tourism, the factors behind the development of bicycle tourism in tourism regions and the bicycle routes used in the EU in the light of the relevant literature. The study is desig-ned as a secondary source scan. As a result of the research, it is shown that bicycle tourism is very common in the European Union and that efforts to pre-vent transportation anxiety and human traffic at destinations lie behind this growth. In addition, it has been determined that countries consider bicycle tou-rism as a tool of rural and regional development, and within this scope, high tourism funds are allocated and bicycle tourism routes are created. In this con-text, facilitating the bike trip in destinations like Turkey that focus on tourism product development efforts and encouragement are discussed in terms of what kind of political options can be addressed.
