The sports and tourism fair, Outdoor Expo, returns to Bologna on the 1st and 3rd March.

After the success of the first edition and renewed friendship with Eudi Show, offering for the event have increased, making it even more inclusive and engaging, with circa 20,000m² exposition area. The theme of slow tourism will also be displayed. The region of Emilia Romagna will be present with a stand organised by Apt Servizi where the regional routes will be presented, including the Via Francigena on a European level (stand 127, tent 29).

The European Association of Via Francigena Ways (EAVF) will participate with the presence of our communication and press associate, Silvia Iuliano, at the workshop on Friday 1st March at 17:30 on the theme of “Adventure and the Outdoors: a more feminin toursim” (organised by Turismo Madonna di Campiglio Pinzolo Val Rendena).

“Emilia Romagna is a region with a tradition linked deeply to walking routes, within our historic routes i the Via Francigena. – says the EAVF – Last year, with I Love Francigena, collaborating with APT Emilia Romagna, we brought lots of hikers together along the Emilian section of Sigeric’s route, between the provinces of Parma and Piacenza with the aim to enhance the European route. This was the first of a series of fruitful meetings thanks to our collaboration with ATP. The fair in Bologna preceds the Fa’ la cosa giusta! event planned in Milan from 8th-10th March – another important event for the promotion of the Francigena. Our association will participate in other international fairs throughout the year“.
