Tasmania is the first state in Australia to develop a Bike Friendly Business community.

Doing-so helps businesses understand the importance of Tasmania's growing cycle tourism industry.

TICT developed the 'Bike Friendly Business Accreditation Program' in 2017 in partnership with the Tasmanian Government, the Tasmanian cycling community, and Tourism Northern Tasmania.

What is the aim of 'Bike Friendly Business Accreditation'?

• To create a community of like-minded businesses who all work together to share knowledge and promote/refer each other to cycle tourists.
• To create a brand that resonates with cyclists and immediately generates a feeling of confidence and reassurance that a businesses carrying this identifiable logo will treat cycle tourist with warmth and provide a level of assistance to their varying needs.

How Much Does It Cost?
