Cycling tourism worth more than 150 million euros

The impact, in economic terms, is placed at over 150 million euros, and for hotels this works out at over a million overnight stays, with the bays of Palma and Alcudia being where most cycling tourists are accommodated.

And in order to meet the level of demand and the specific needs of cyclists, some 120 hotels have undertaken work with these needs in mind.  Cycling tourism, which occurs throughout the winter but which is primarily a factor in September and October and then from late January through to May, is said to bring with it an average spend per tourist of 106 euros a day.

Main tour operators are the specialists such as Diana Sportreisen and Bicycle Holidays Max Hürzeler, which work closely with hotel chains and ensure that the best possible service is available to meet cyclist requirements. The level of satisfaction with Majorca as a cycling destination is very high, though more attention could be paid to some roads.
