    [dmo_description] => Mechelen has the clear ambition to become a flourishing destination: a place where tourism contributes to the destination, its inhabitants and entrepreneurs in a true sustainable way. Visit Mechelen co-created, together with touristic entrepreneurs, inhabitants, policy makers and the city, the vision ‘Mechelen, en route for a flourishing destination. Tourism in and for Mechelen, 2020-2026’.  

This vision note, including a co-created action plan, links the 3 city-wide ambitions of Mechelen (reducing child poverty, implementing innovative mobility and circular business development) with the tourism vision to become a flourishing destination. 

Credits: Mechelen is a proud partner of Visit Flanders in the transformative and groundbreaking traject ‘Travelling to Tomorrow’, an intensive traject that lead to this vision note.
