The Impact of Bike Tourism
Bike tourism is the perfect incarnation of a slower, sustainable, and respectful form of tourism. Biking activities during a holiday, or bike trips between other activities, are an opportunity to decarbonize a sector which represents 8.8 % of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Beyond social and environmental benefits, bike tourism also generates significant economic impacts for our regions.
Benefits for the Economy of Quebec
Contrarily to other sectors of activity and type of tourism, bike tourism benefits for Quebec economy as a whole. Its effect can be observed across the province, and has a notable impact on our regions, our communities and small businesses. Bike tourism supports every year thousands of non-relocatable jobs, and provides almost half a billion dollars of added-value to the province’s economy.
