The
ADFC is a non profitmaking organization and its aim is to improve cycling
facilities in Germany. We are offering services to our 100,000 members (maps and
information for cycletourism). We also work as a consultancy for communities,
travel agencies and tourism companies who are involved with
cycletourism.
Cycletourism fits Agenda 21 and is of
growing importance. In Germany, e.g. 20% of all Germans have planned their
cycling holidays up until the year 2000. The Netherlands have around 500,000
tourists who cycle each year. In Austria 26% of all tourists use bicylces as a
means of local transport and leisure activity. Infrastructure and marketing for
cycletourism is of great regional importance. Investments for cycletourism are
relatively low with high economic effects.
Some of
the guides and projects we are involved in are as follows :
Handreichung zur Förderung des Fahrradtourismus
Rad & Bett
