Marie Secrétant

As responsible for tourism and event at Pro Velo in Belgium, I have more than 15 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 recently in charge of Pro Velo’s strategy to encourage Brussels people who are non-cycliss 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). I have been teaching sustainable tourism during 5 years at Hight tourism school in Brussels.
