As responsible for tourism and event at Pro Velo in Belgium, I have more than 14 years of experience in the sustainable tourism sector with about 3 years working at the European level in social economy cooperatives. I am member of the EuroVelo Council since 2021, which allows me to have a global view on the EuroVelo network, and of the sustainable tourism. Within Pro Velo, I am in charge of Pro Velo’s strategy to encourage Brussels people who are non-cyclists to get on their bikes for a daily use, applying an approach to specific neighbourhoods or publics. I am administrator in 3 different tourism organisations in Brussels of different sizes and goals and more especially, for the Brussels tourism public institution called visit.brussels but also non-profit organisations promoting Brussels for locals and tourists (Explore Brussels, Zinneguides). My priority and objective? To make cycling accessible to low income people for a daily or recreational use.
