ADVANTAGES FOR ETR SITES?
There are many advantages for existing hotels, motels, guest houses, camping grounds, motorcycle rental locations, and other tourism related sites to become part of the ETR Network. From increased visibility and promotion to tourists, travellers and touring motorcyclists around the world, to enjoying a more solid business foundation in their local area.
IN THE AREA AROUND THE SITES
Europe is one of the few places in the world, where the traveler is spoiled with a diverse and multilayer landscape of culture, history, art, architecture, sculpture, music and gastronomy. All of these aspects can be found in the local area around most ETR Sites, and promoted centrally from the sites, making it easy for tourists to find what they’re looking for.
This creates a hub of activity based around the ETR Sites, and reinforces the site’s position as the center of tourist activity, in that area. ETR Tourists want to immerse themselves in the authentic local culture, and experience everything the local ETR Site has to offer. Foods, beers, wines, wellness, local products, culture, history and great nature.
SELLING LOCAL PRODUCE
To activate and involve the local resources even further, local produce can be sold centrally from the ETR Site, directly to tourists and travellers, making their way along the European Touring Route. Local vineyards, breweries, craftsmen, cheese makers, and producers of organic food, can all sell their produce to the many ETR tourists, passing through. Along the entire length of the European Touring Route, tourists can taste local foods, wines, and produce from each region, and they can even buy items and cases of local produce, and have them shipped back to where they live.
