The island is coming to the Danish capital this weekend to win over Nordic travelers with its commitment to ecotourism, unplugging, and a network of unique cycling routes
Last weekend, La Gomera Tourism took part in the Copenhagen Bike Show, the most important cycling event in Northern Europe, which was held in Copenhagen on March 7 and 8. With its own stand, the island is seeking to consolidate its image as a leading destination for Scandinavian travelers, a profile characterized by their high environmental awareness and their preference for active experiences in nature.
Based on the premise of responsible tourism without overcrowding, La Gomera presented a comprehensive offering that combines sports with enjoying the island. The island's Councilor for Tourism, Trade, and Consumer Affairs, María Isabel Méndez, said that "the main goal is to attract a market segment with higher spending at the destination and a strong commitment to the environment".
"With this initiative, we want to reaffirm La Gomera's commitment to cycling tourism, highlighting the natural infrastructure we have on the island for this activity, which allows visitors to discover the island's diverse landscapes in a respectful and healthy way," he added.
During the fair, attendees were able to discover the island's seven official cycling routes, with itineraries designed for various skill levels that traverse the island's topography. In addition, there is an extensive network of trails that connect the coast with the heart of Garajonay National Park. The aim is also for visitors' experiences to go beyond sports, integrating local culture, traditions, and locally sourced products.
All this is complemented by the island's connections to Denmark and southern Sweden, with direct links via Tenerife South and Gran Canaria airports, together with the growing presence of La Gomera in the catalogs of the main Danish tour operators.
