This project allows us to encourage pedestrian and cycle tourism that can be one of Montesilvano flywheels and of the entire area. The work already started\u00a0along the coast for the construction of the Bike to Coast, the cycle-path that will develop all along the Abruzzo coast from Martinsicuro to San Salvo, will be further integrated with the project that will result from this agreement. Our region has a great peculiarity: can boast landscapes of the sea to those of hills and mountains. The cycle-path that could be achieved by means of this convention will offer itineraries that take you from the sea to the hinterland, perfect for lovers of nature tourism.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>You might also like:<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"post-title entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/solar-roads-france\/\" target=\"_blank\">A thousand kilometers of solar roads<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"post-title entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2015\/04\/cycle-path-of-mincio\/\" target=\"_blank\">On two wheels along the river: the cycle path of Mincio<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"post-title entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/switzerland-disused-railways\/\" target=\"_blank\">Switzerland: disused railways wear new cultures<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"post-title entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/sustainable-tourism-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Italy chooses Sustainable Tourism<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy focuses once again\u00a0on sustainable tourism.
