On May 7, 2019, the Post of the Principality of Luxembourg issued 2 stamps in the "Rural Tourism" series.
One third of Luxembourg is covered in forests, and the country has more than 5,000 km of walking routes and more than 600 km of cycle paths. This makes it a very inviting place to relax or get active in nature. Add to this the Grand Duchy’s more than thousand-year-long history with both historic and modern architecture and a whole host of cultural attractions. The choice of various different types of accommodation, from holiday homes to guests’ rooms on farms, allows visitors to pick a lesser or greater degree of integration with everyday rural life and therefore decide the way they shape this unique holiday entirely for themselves.
From biking trips and hiking to canoeing and kayaking, from the Moselle wine festival to visiting secret gardens, from early-morning birdwatching to romantic sunsets, the possibilities are abundant and attract visitors of all ages.
Holidays in the countryside always offer an interesting range of activities and opportunities for relaxation. The “Rural Tourism” set, which POST Philately is issuing from 2019 to 2022 with two motifs per year, will certainly do its bit to promote what Luxembourg has to offer in terms of rural tourism. It has been created in close collaboration with the Association for the Promotion of Rural Tourism in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, or APTR. The APTR’s tasks include the classification of holiday homes. Wherever visitors see their logo, the rooster in the national colours of Luxembourg, they can rest assured they will find the right standards of quality.
Stamps were issued in small sheets of 10 stamps of each denomination (2x5) with artistically decorated fields. The Luxembourg Post has also prepared official first day cover and a special postmark.
