How to promote bike tourism globally

The continuous and in-depth development of smart technology has brought new development opportunities and challenges to the development of the tourism industry. This research mainly discusses the design of ethnic minority tourism information services and sustainable tourism development in the context of smart cities. The smart tourism public service application system must meet the three major requirements of different service objects. One is a smart service system aimed at satisfying tourists’ travel information services. The second is to meet the needs of tourism companies for online marketing and e-commerce on the platform. The third is to provide a platform for the government to master travel information and supervise the travel market to realize e-government management. Therefore, the smart tourism application system includes three aspects: service, market, and management. The smart tourism service module is a module that the platform provides tourists with “eating, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment” tourism information inquiry and consulting services and also uses modern information technology to provide navigation, tour guide, and shopping guide services in tourism. The smart tourism marketing module is the corporate product display, image promotion, and platform sales services provided by the platform for tourism companies. The smart tourism management module provides tourism management departments with services for managing various types of tourism information on the platform, platform security operations, and emergency response systems. As an ethnic minority region, the total tourism revenue of M city in 2020 will reach 75.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.33%. This research will highlight the unique charm of ethnic minorities and help drive the economic development of one party.

“…The popularity of cycle tourism recently is on the rise (Bakogiannis et al 2020;Chen and Lee 2017;Černá et al 2014;Duran et al 2018). Many destinations have started to develop cycle tourism as a tourist product (Maggi et al 2021;Sharpley 2014).…”

“…The development of cycle tourism based on incidental activities and unplanned spending of surplus funds will not lead to the maximum benefit from cycle tourism (Bakogiannis et al 2020). Once the basic actions for cycle tourism development are accomplished, the global promotion of the destinations is needed (Cox 2012;Chen and Lee 2017). Ritchie (1998) emphasized that cycle tourists, compared to conventional tourists, prefer to choose accommodation facilities located in rural and smaller places.…”

The research was carried out online from April 7, 2020, to July 5, 2020. In total, 201 questionnaires were collected. Findings – As the research results show, local stakeholders have a generally positive attitude towards cycle tourism development in the destination. Most respondents evaluated that the local community benefits from cycle tourism development in the destination and that cycle tourism development additionally promotes the destination. Moreover, 30% of local stakeholders consider that they should be more involved in developing and planning cycle tourism in Istria County.

“…In the subsequent 10 years, in coordination with the landscape modeling projects of each township, bicycle paths were constructed and extended to connect with scenic spots in their surrounding areas, forming bicycle path systems (shown as Table 1 and Figure 1). This design concept has become the main principle of bicycle path development; it involves providing people with recreational bicycle paths and expanding tourism activities in all regions, thereby diversifying travel itineraries for Taiwanese people [15]. Note: The main classification was based on the lengths of the island, regional, and local road networks; each category has different main functions, and secondary functions may be repeated.…”

Taiwan has promoted bicycle tourism for nearly 20 years, and the bicycle paths it has constructed throughout the island are diverse in design. In the present study, an evaluation scale for bicycle path sightseeing potential was devised with a focus on the overall service quality of the paths; 30 popular bicycle paths were analyzed using a field survey, with expert consultation on quantitative indicators, and a qualitative analysis entailing interviews with people regarding the bicycle paths. A multivariate statistical analysis was performed on the quality of the service systems for these paths. The results revealed that the quality of these service systems is influenced by four principal components, namely, landscape attractiveness, image management, bicycle-specific paths, and accessibility, for a total explanatory power of 76.21%; the individual explanatory power of these components was 25.89%, 21.49%, 16.81%, and 12.03%, respectively. Bicycle path conditions, service maintenance, and cleanliness and bicycle specificity are required for future high-quality bicycle paths; diverse bicycle rental services and bicycle types, entrance visibility, and ecological introduction boards along paths are value-added factors to bicycle path quality.
