Route Verte Québec, Canada

Managing and comparing data from bike tourism in different countries

Eurovélo 6 / Atlantic-Black Sea Bike Trail

With 6,000km of bike trails running through 9 different countries, it comes without no doubt that calculating the benefits of the Atlantic-Black Sea Bike Trail is a key point of the project.

With 25 counters installed with GSM data transmission and a report produced every year, it is easy to inform all the concerned parties (hotels, tourist offices, local administrations, etc.) and compare data from different countries.

2 regions are now sharing their data at the moment, and they are builiding economic indicators based on this gathered data.

Atlantic-Black Sea Bike Trail uses :

Communicate attendance results to key stakeholders and the public

Donauradweg (Danube Bike Path), Austria

The results and conclusions derived from reliable count data are extremely valuable in garnering public support for a project. An example of this can be found in the Danube Bike Path - an exceptional, 150km bike route that passes through four states in Austria. Policy makers there received broad public support for improvements to the path after communicating the attendance data to the public.

The state governments used data from 17 counters and tourist surveys to determine attendance figures and other key metrics on the use and economic benefit of the Danube Bike Path.
