Project partners met in Faroe Islands

At the stakeholder event, representatives from tourism Jóhan Pauli Helgason, Visit Faroe and city authorities Barbara Mikkelsen spoke about the situation of cycling in the Faroe Islands, especially in the capital, Torshavn. Cycling tourism is still new to the area and sparks a lot of discussion. Challenges to developing cycling include narrow streets, a high number of cars relative to the population, tunnels, and drivers' unfamiliarity with cyclists. To reduce car usage, locals are increasingly encouraged to use bicycles and the available free public transportation.

Representative from the event venue, Hotel Hafnia, Paetur Trond Thomsen, and Anu Nylund from Mood of Finland (participated remotely from Finland) spoke about responsible and sustainable tourism and the impact of tourism on the well-being of regions.
