Slow tourism is the name given to a type of tourism allowing tourists to spend their free time and take to the road liberated from the worries and stress caused by today’s fast-paced way of life.

The designers of tourism products (tourist agencies, national parks, municipalities, local development agencies, etc.) offer slow tourists activities that proudly bear the ‘slow’ designation; these include pleasure trips and hiking, bicycling (mountain biking), equestrianism, rowing and other water sports, discovering subterranean caves (caving), visits to numerous protected areas, birdwatching, hot air ballooning, paragliding, dog sledding, cross country ski running, snowshoeing, etc.

This type of tourism is based on a long-term vision and good relations with local communities as well as respect for the environment and its protection.
