BikeAgritourism
The BikeAgriTourism project combines agritourism and bike tourism to promote sustainable travel experiences.
It creates eco-friendly “green paths” where tourists can enjoy cycling alongside agricultural and food-related activities.
The project also provides training, digital courses, and tailored itineraries to support agritourism operators, VET trainers, and tourists, especially in remote areas.

Bike Agritourism Manual
The BikeAgriTourism Manual is a practical guide to creating sustainable tourism experiences that combine cycling, local food heritage, and rural culture.
Developed through the Erasmus+ BikeAgriTourism project, the manual explores how agritourism and bike tourism can work together to support rural communities, promote environmentally friendly travel, and create memorable visitor experiences.
It provides guidance on building partnerships, developing bike-friendly infrastructure, ensuring safety and accessibility, and designing engaging routes that connect travelers with local farms, producers, and cultural traditions.
Drawing on real-life pilot activities in Greece, Germany, and Italy, the manual showcases how cycling can become a gateway to discovering authentic local food, landscapes, and communities while encouraging more sustainable forms of tourism.
