18-20 May, Finale Ligure, Italy: 24h MTB, pure FUN



And it's happening NOW: 3000 people on the Manie plateau in Finale Ligure for the 24h Mountain Bike.

The race turns twenty, it’s a springtime classic and it’s a great sport&fun event. A traditional race, but from year to year able to renew and amaze. And always on the cutting edge.

This year the novelty consists of a prequel race entirely dedicated to e-bikes, electric mountain bikes that will compete in a race (racing skills technical evaluation) today, May 18, on a dedicated track.
A not-so-long time ago, starting from the classic bikes the rough terrain pioneers introduced all the innovations required to make the off road more feasible and stimulating, up to the nowadays highly sophisticated products in terms of performance and design. The 2018 24h edition opens to this new step, the e-bike, which allows a faster approach to dedicated trails, richer tours for cycling and cross-country, and meets other needs, depending on different bikers.

From tomorrow the 24-hour races for solo runners and teams, with different starts.
• Solo and Team 2 will leave at 11:00 on Saturday 19 May from the Altopiano delle Manie (stage area).
• Teams 4, 8 and 12 will leave at 2.00 pm Saturday 19 May - Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, Finalmarina.

And not only competitions: The 24h celebrates its 20th birthday through an Museum, a dedicated book, and lots of music and entertainment.

An evergreen, the 24h of Finale conquests again the podium among the internationally most chosen competitions: the participation of foreigners from all over the world, locals, and whoever wants to enjoy 3 days of pure outdoor fun!

Planning a successful sports tourism offer, the ABC

Immagine
  Every investment is of course risky, but a due planning can make it reasonable hopeful. Planning a sports tourism destination requires a clear vision and a very pragmatic approach. The risk it to opt for an offer which could be promising, but which is too uprooted, detached from the location socio-environmental features to be sustainable. The key point is to avoid of burning a possible emerging market with a couple of seasons in which the management of contingencies transmits a perception of carelessness and lack of professionalism. The basic rule is always that the tourist pays, and that the services must therefore at least be commensurate with the expense, even if one is crossing the pioneer land of a newborn offer. Therefore, it will be easier to activate or enhance an offer where there are specific prerequisites to become a promising tourist product. The selection process among different potential offers may lead to prefer an offer over another, or a multi-target ...

  After the couple of posts about the Commission , and the one about the Council , here’s the third institution to consider when it comes to sustainable tourism in the European Union: European Parliament (official website here ) The European Parliament is the only institution directly elected by the citizens, so it is the only one with direct representation. Among the various activities of the European Parliament there is the support for European tourism destinations and the assessment of the impact of tourism in the various European environmental, economic, social aspects, plus employment, image and sustainability.   The European Parliament has adopted a series of Resolutions on the guidelines submitted by the Commission, as well as initiatives concerning tourism.

Satisfy autumn apperite with Slow Food!

Hi everybody! It’s been a while. And today I recalled I promised a post about Slow-Food (https://sustainableexperience.blogspot.com/2020/09/be-part-of-place-enjoy-local-food-and.html) . Perhaps triggered by the annual autumn appetite ;-) here some tips about Slow Food, for those who never heard about it. Slow Food is a part of the global debate about what eating means, and how it affects our life, ourselves. It a pebble in the mosaic of a paradigm change: modernity is not all about being fast, reckless, new and upgraded every 50 seconds. There’s a form of modernity, which invites to awareness, comprehension, preservation, promotion, and being present in the present, with all the time this process requires. All this happens while you eat, as well.   Slow Food (https://www.slowfood.it/)   was born as a reaction to fast food, that is to say to those large chains that have established themselves in recent decades and that make you eat standardized food, in a bite. A name...
