I am working on a long-term research project on how tourism providers and DMOs can create the environment for slow tourism across the English Channel ( La Manche) for visitors travelling to the ports and seaside towns of Normandy and Brittany in France. I am particularly interested in finding examples of reduced car use, holiday experiences that begin on the ferry crossing (or train), activities to retain holidaymakers in the arrival ports rather than simply passing through and cultural & gastronomy tourism connected to place.
