As there more and more bikers, bike tourism has increased over the last years. This alternative way of making tourism allows enjoying places from a calmer perspective, being in close contact with local populations in a higher degree and protecting environment in comparison with the traditional tourism. Even today the number of hotels prepared for bike tourism is still narrow because they were built not taken into account bikers.

Some tips to make hotels bike tourism friendly are the follows. These hotels have to have a specific space, indoor or outdoor, for bicycles. It should be large enough as to allow this way of transport plus the saddlebags. If outdoor, it have to be secure, i.e. be closed, have a robust, unique door wide enough for the bikes and if possible CCTVs with banners to avoid thefts. The hall should be large in order to allow all cyclers and their luggage since bike tourists can pedal in big groups. As for the room, it is enough to have a bed, an wardrobe and a bathroom. Not surprisingly, the bathroom should have a shower tray as taking a shower rejuvenate a body after pedaling many kilometers. It is advisable to count with a green area within the limits of the hotel for such bike tourists who prefer camping instead of sleeping in a room. Finally, the hotel menu should consist in energetic food due to the fact that much more than have the total calorie intake will be burnt during the next bike tourism day.
