River related tourism in Europe

Auteur :
STEINBACH, J.

Description :
A series of supply-oriented indicators is used to draw up a ranking of the European river-cruise-districts. The cruising market is characterized by extensive investment strategies of some leading companies. The canal-systems of Western Europe form the most important prerequisite for houseboat-tourism. The rising request for adventures and progress in kayak-and raft-technology are driving factors to whitewater-tourism. Biking has become a prefered leisure activity with river basins as the main goal areas.
