Shaping the feature
International mountain bike destinations present their paths to success.
Lisa Ribarich // Lower Austria Marketing
"Mountain biking in Lower Austria - probably quite unexpected - but a big topic! We live next to a cosmopolitan city and are currently experiencing the development of comprehensive mountain biking offers. Excursion tourism is certainly our focus in Lower Austrian tourism - mountain biking, however, shows up as an intersection between leisure and tourism. In Lower Austria, our goal is to further develop mountain biking TOGETHER in the coming years. I believe, then we have a great chance."
Lisa presents in this panel discussion the approach of her region Lower Austria - not to reduce mountain biking only to tourism, but also to use the synergies for the whole region and its inhabitants.
- Without a strategy, we can never reach our goals – but there aren't any one size fits all solutions either. Initial conditions are always different and possibilities and objectives vary depending on the destination.
- How do different regions address this issue? What approaches do they take?
- Which factors need to be considered and what are the most important lessons learned in this process? And how long does such a process take to show results?
- This panel compares different plans and approaches and provides insights into successful strategy implementation.
