We have a clear goal in tourism – and beyond: We want people to explore the world by bicycle. Cycling holidays should become the number one form of travel in Europe. We focus on nature-based experiences that are good for both people and the environment. Cultural diversity and social interaction play a central role in this. Ecological values are just as important as fostering a strong awareness of sustainability among our customers – even beyond their journey.
In addition to promoting cycling as a form of travel, our business practices emphasize reducing plastic and paper use, relying on renewable energy, and consistently integrating regional food and culinary products. In doing so, we not only increase the vital economic value added in the European travel regions we offer, but also strengthen awareness and acceptance of sustainable practices in all our partner regions.
On cycling tours, there are no direct emissions along the route itself. Compared to a round-trip by car, there is therefore no fuel consumption. Cycling produces no exhaust fumes while on the road and is good for both body and mind. Cycling travelers experience the landscape and local cultures in a profound way. Interaction with local communities happens gently and directly, enabling value creation at the local level. We aim to maximize these positive effects for both our guests and local populations, while minimizing negative social, environmental, and economic impacts.
These guidelines are intended to highlight the efforts we have already made in the name of sustainability and to define our sustainability goals for the coming years. The focus lies both on daily office operations and the sustainable development of our cycling tours. This policy is understood as a dynamic strategy and implementation document, supported and embraced by all employees in the company.
