  • Vyborg – the Medieval Town!
    We are glad to offer you the pre-congress tour to Vyborg: Vyborg – the medieval town! 30 August 2014, Saturday 08:00 Departure from St. Petersburg to Vyborg by bus. The total duration of the route is nearly 2 hours. Excursion during the route. Vyborg is the only medieval town in Russia. The history of Vyborg covers seven centuries. In transfer from Swedish “Vi” means sacred, and “borg” - a city, a fortress. The history of Vyborg is a history of storms and loud fights in which great tsars and kings, brave soldiers and the glorified commanders have been involved. For the long life the city was under the power of 5 different states: the Swedish kingdom, the Russian empire, Independent Finland, Soviet Union, and since 1992 it was a part of the Russian Federation. It is natural that it was reflected and in external shape of a city, in its architecture and the space organisation. Vyborg can't be regarded as a typical Russian town as it looks rather West-European. You can find a mixture of various architectural styles, evident influences of romanticism and renaissance, classicism and functional style. A real example of the functional style in architecture of the town is the unique library of Alvar Aalto, who was famous Finnish architect. For today the historical heritage of Vyborg is recognised by an independent cultural value, organically and by originally uniting monuments of the various countries and nationalities. 10:00 Arrival to Vyborg, bus city tour with English speaking guide. During the city tour you will see and visit the romantic old center with aging buildings, small and cozy parks and cobblestone streets, Vyborg's towers: towers of St.

  • European Cycle Tourism: a Tool for Sustainable Regional Rural Development
    Applied Studies in Agribusiness and Commerce – APSTRACT 115 Agroinform Publishing House, Budapest SCIENTIFIC PAPERS EUROPEAN CYCLE TOURISM: A TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL RURAL DEVELOPMENT Pieter Piket1*, Eke Eijgelaar1 & Paul Peeters1 1NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences, Centre for Sustainable Tourism and Transport, Netherlands e-mails: [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] *corresponding author Abstract: We present an economic impacts model based on direct expenditures for European cycle routes, originally designed in 2009 as part of a study commissioned by the European Parliament. At its request, the study was updated in 2012, including a refined version of our model which takes some limitations of the former model into account. Our main findings are that cycle tourists’ daily spending is comparable to that of other tourists, and that cycle tourism can contribute significantly in particular to rural economies that have not previously enjoyed mainstream tourism development. (European) cycle tourism thus proves to be useful as an (additional) tool for regional rural development. We arrived at a total estimated direct expenditures in Europe of almost €44 billion (€35 billion from day trips and €8.94 billion from overnight trips). We applied the model to the routes of EuroVelo, the European cycle route network which is currently being developed, showing their considerable economic potential of over €7 billion in direct expenditures. Furthermore, cycle tourism has a far lower negative impact on the environment (in terms of carbon dioxide emissions) than other forms of tourism. Cycle tourism is therefore a good example of a low carbon tourism product which could be developed as a major slow travel opportunity across (rural) Europe.
