On 27 November 2013, the Centre Region organised a meeting of the “La Loire à Vélo” brand’s actors at Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire. The event provided an opportunity to present a very positive assessment of the tourist season, with almost 445,000 cyclists following the itinerary in the Centre Region, bringing the areas concerned close to 10.6 million euros in direct economic benefits. Foreigners account for 41 % of cyclists.

As well as development of the regional cycle-path network as an incentive to tourism, innovations underway in the activity sector came under discussion, including electric bicycles, baggage transfer services and accommodation catering for the needs of cyclotourists.

There are currently a total of 455 service-providers with the “La Loire à Vélo” label along the route, including accommodation providers, bicycle-hire concerns, visit and leisure activity site and tourist offices.
