Descriptions

As a partner on the EXPERIENCE tourism project, Cycling UK is developing new destinations to boost year-round cycle tourism in three pilot regions: Norfolk, Kent and Cornwall. Cycling UK is developing a new accreditation scheme for hospitality and accommodation businesses, Cycle Friendly Places, to help them better attract cyclists and respond to their needs. Within these pilot regions, we're proposing to develop 15 cycle hubs that will be centers for activity in the county. EXPERIENCE is a €23.3 million project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF, €16 million) through the Interreg VA France (Channel) England Programme 2014-2020, boosting visitor numbers in six pilot regions across England and France. EXPERIENCE aims to harness the experiential tourism trend by connecting tourists with the unique cultural, historical and natural identity of a place. Project partners in each pilot region are developing new off-season (October-March) activities and itineraries to boost tourism numbers and help local businesses attract tourists, generating 20 million new off-season visitors spending €1 billion across the Channel region by June 2023. As part of the accreditation, Cycling UK are offering tourism businesses extensive parking and ancillary equipment to help them better attract and support customers arriving by bike or using one during their stay. We will be providing parking and ancillary products to businesses in the cycle hubs free of charge once businesses are accepted into the accreditation programme.
