Bed+Bike Luxembourg - Quality label for bicycle-friendly accommodations

A bright future!

How to attract cyclists as your guests.

More and more people are using their bikes on holiday. Some cycle from place to place, others explore their holiday region from a fixed accommodation. In Germany, 63 million people now cycle on holiday every year. Experience shows that these guests earn good money and are keen consumers. In addition to accommodation providers, restaurants are also looking forward to a wealthy and cheerful clientele. 

These guests are always looking for new areas to cycle in. Luxembourg is an attractive destination for cyclists thanks to its network of cycle paths, which now covers over 600 kilometres, its natural surroundings and its high-quality tourism infrastructure.

Any host who wants to benefit from cyclists now, can rely on "bed+bike".

The Ministry of Tourism has categorised cycle tourism in Luxembourg as an area of development with great potential and will continue to invest more in this sector. As an accommodation provider, you can benefit from the cycling trend by making your accommodation attractive to this type of guest. 

The increasing number of cycling holidaymakers requires new ideas combined with a cycling-specific service. The General Directorate for Tourism, in collaboration with ProVelo, therefore decided 10 years ago to introduce the label developed by the ADFC and its quality criteria for cyclist-friendly establishments in Luxembourg.
