There has been a long-standing link between cycling and tourism,
particularly in European countries. In Australia there is
increasing political interest in developing and promoting cycle
tourism, yet there is little research to guide policy-making
decisions. The research reported in this book examines the needs,
preferences and perceptions of cycle tourists in Australia,
informed by Leiper's model of whole tourism systems. Particular
attention is paid to identifying what cycle tourists want in a
cycle tourism destination. Perceptions regarding the desirability
of Australia as a cycle tourism destination in relation to road
safety, infrastructure, and transport services are also explored.
This research has numerous theoretical and applied implications for
studying and managing cycle tourism. It is a valuable resource for
practitioners, policy makers, students and researchers with an
interest in cycle tourism.
