Cyclomundo Discounted Travel Options- "Save Some Green + Preserve Some Green" Promotion

April 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Gaillard, France -- Cyclomundo announced today that it will offer two different promotions for its self-guided European cycling tours in hopes of promoting ecotourism and rewarding environmentally-friendly attitudes.

Already a staunch supporter of pro-cycling organizations, such as Eco-cycle in Geneva, Cyclomundo believes in rewarding an environment-friendly attitude. Currently, Cyclomundo supports cycling advocacy groups such as Transportation Alternatives (TA) in New York by providing discounts to their members. Cyclomundo would like to extend its support to other local cycling advocacy groups around the world. Members may qualify for a 50 Euro discount on all standard self-guided tours offered by Cyclomundo in 2010.

“Ecotourism”, or responsible travel, may be considered a fashionable trend in the travel industry, but the benefits and memorable experiences connected to ecotourism last beyond the latest fads. Staying in family-run lodgings, buying products crafted by local artisans and using our alternative, carbon-free method of transportation, benefits both the environment and local communities. Ecotourism offers a chance to get closer to nature and visit beautiful towns off the beaten track. Not only that, bicycle travel also allows for a much more sensory experience than sitting behind the window of a car or bus.

Bruno Toutain, Managing Director of Cyclomundo, adds, “Traveling by bicycle is an affordable luxury – it’s inexpensive, it’s easy to do, and you’ll experience moments money can’t buy!”

In addition to the discount for cycling advocates, Cyclomundo is offering all clients a way to save money and to be ecologically responsible with a great “save some green + preserve some green” promotion. This promotion consists of special rates to experience southern Europe in the springtime. All clients who book tours for the spring or the autumn months are entitled to discounted rates! This early-season / end-of-season booking promotion applies towards standard, self-guided trips in most available tour regions (visit Cyclomundo’s website for an extensive list of the discounted tours and prices). Now, you can avoid the busy summer crowds and “save some green” at the same time!

“Self-guided” trips are essentially just as they sound… you don’t have the pressure of a tour guide present. We believe this is the most ideal way to experience an unfamiliar territory: just you, your bicycle, and the awaiting road! “Self-guided” does not mean that we will leave you in the cold: you will meet Cyclomundo’s local representative before you set off on your journey. You will then be briefed about the itinerary--maps, route notes, and tourist information will be personally given to you. No question will be left unanswered by our local expert and you can reach him/her during your journey if any questions arise. These trips include luggage transfers, accommodations, some or all dinners, marked maps and/or directions. You are then free to explore the region at your own pace, the way travel and exploration should be!
