Protecting our planet

UK Bike Tours sells holidays which are as environmentally friendly as possible.

Cycling does not harm the environment. Still our business does include factors which can potentially harm nature and the environment. UK Bike Tours’ complete staff has been made aware of this and so we have instigated policy to control the negative effects of our business where ever possible.

Waste separation for recycling already takes place in our office, but can always be improved upon.
Cutting down on electricity by installing energy saving light bulbs and improving insulation of the office building is completed.
Limiting paper use.
Taking into account the environment when planning our tours especially in the areas of transport, accommodation and activities en route.
Adhering to the principles, resolutions and rules of conduct for sustainable tourism of the coordinating branch organisation.
Providing our holiday makers with information and tips on how to help care for the environment while on tour.
Communicating our commitment to caring for the environment to our clients, staff, suppliers and agents through the website, newsletter, route pack, and other channels.
It is in everyone’s best interest, not least our company’s, that it will still be possible to have beautiful and fascinating bike holidays in a clean natural environment in the future.


Our Sustainability Commitment

UK Bike Tours is committed to responsible tourism and reducing the environmental impact of the holidays we offer. As part of this, we are proud to be recognised as a Travelife Partner, following assessment of our sustainability report and compliance with Travelife’s core requirements. This milestone reflects the steps we have already taken to improve our sustainability practices across areas such as energy use, waste reduction, paper use, and responsible planning of accommodation, transport and activities. We are now working towards the next stage, Travelife Certified, which involves an independent on-site audit against stronger international sustainability standards aligned with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Criteria. This is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continual improvement so that cycling holidays can remain a positive way to explore the world, while helping protect the landscapes and communities that make them special.
