The European Greenways Association has unveiled a new pledge to bolster the European Sustainable Tourism Strategy through its innovative use of greenways. By converting former railways and towpaths into accessible and safe routes for non-motorised activities, greenways answer the increasing demand for sustainable travel and tourism.
This not only fosters ecotourism and active travel but also promotes sustainable development while combating climate change. Additionally, these greenways serve as green corridors that enhance environmental quality, bridge rural and urban communities, and encourage cross-border cooperation.
