Cycle Tours Global – Championing Sustainable Travel

Bruce Robertson
At the heart of Cycle Tours Global (CTG) is a belief that cycling holidays are more than just a way to travel -they are a sustainable, environmentally conscious choice that benefits both people and the planet. Cycle tourism offers a unique opportunity to explore the world with a minimal environmental footprint, connecting travellers with nature and local communities in a way that traditional travel cannot match.
Why Sustainability Matters
Cycling is one of the most eco-friendly forms of travel. Although they may be involved as a means of transport to and from the tour, choosing a bike for your holiday, over a car, bus or plane, cyclists dramatically reduce their carbon emissions, conserve energy, and help protect the landscapes they explore. CTG is built on the conviction that travel should not come at the expense of the environment. Instead, it should foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world and encourage responsible tourism practices that preserve destinations for future generations.
How We Deliver on Our Mission
Our approach is simple: prioritise sustainability in every aspect of our operations. We work with, and rely on, tour operators who share our commitment to responsible travel, ensuring that cycling holidays are accessible, enjoyable, and environmentally sound. We operate on a not-for-profit basis by making our platform easily and cost effectively accessible for all, and by supporting events and initiatives that promote cycle tourism. Our aim is to help create a positive cycle - more cyclists mean less pollution, healthier communities, and stronger support for local economies.
CTG is also unique among bike tour aggregators in that we aim to show ALL tour options available, not just those from tour operators with whom we work.
We also welcome sponsorships from organisations that provide essential services that support responsible tourism, such as airlines, eco-friendly accommodation, green transport options, and travel insurance. Our goal is to make it easy for travellers to choose sustainable options at every stage of their journey.
Building a Community for Change
The success of CTG depends on a community of like-minded travellers, tour operators, and supporters who believe in the power of sustainable tourism. By engaging on social media, sharing experiences, and spreading the word about the benefits of cycle tourism, you help amplify our impact and inspire others to travel responsibly.
