We covered the what, why, and who of bicycle tourism with the introduction of the first two Tourists on Two Wheels brochures, Why Bicycle Travel, and Economics of Bicycle Travel. Now we’re onto the most important part — the “how.”
A new brochure in the series, Welcoming Bicycle Travelers, introduces the basics of being bicycle travel friendly with two case studies featuring a bike friendly hostel, Spoke’n Hostel in Oregon, and a bike friendly community: Perry, Iowa. All three brochures feature amazing photos from the Path Less Pedaled, who partnered with us to develop the content.
But even better, if you’re looking for more than the basics, we offer new Building Bicycle Tourism (www.adventurecycling.org/biketourism/) web resources to take you further with the “how” of developing and promoting bicycle tourism:
There is a lot of momentum around the country to capitalize on the bicycle tourism boom. States, communities, businesses, hospitality, and agencies are realizing the benefits, especially economically, of destination development and marketing targeted to bicyclists. We thought it was about time there were some more comprehensive resources to help with those efforts.
Let us know what you think! You can download, print, and distribute the three brochures from the Bike Tourism Resources page. Or we’d be happy to mail you up to 10 hard copies of each if you email advocacy@adventurecycling.org with your mailing address and how many you’d like.
If you could also provide quote-worthy comments below about why bicycle tourism is important to you, we may feature it in our next communications!
