Pedal on France, Slovenia is the new hot spot for cyclists!

Leisure Cycling Holiday Company sees a boost in sales for Slovenia

Wheel2Wheel Holidays has seen a shift in cycling holiday trends as sales for Slovenian cycling holidays increase.

The leisure cycling holiday company who specialise in cycle tours to unusual European destinations has seen a significant boost in sales for their Slovenia tour packages, making it one of their top performing destinations of the year so far and outselling popular cycling destination France by over 25%.

Steven Rittey of Wheel2Wheel said: “Slovenia is Europe’s newest active outdoor playground and offers great value for money as a holiday destination. There are few destinations which allow you to explore the whole of a country in just over a week. In Slovenia it’s easy to see everything in a short space of time from the countryside to the coast.”

Over the last few years leisure cycling has become more popular with almost half of UK households now owning a bike and more people than ever using bikes as a means to get around.

Steven added: “At the moment we are currently seeing more bookings for Slovenia than the traditional destinations such as France, Italy and Spain. Easy access to the capital Ljubljana and its central European location make Slovenia convenient to visit and remains one of the better value euro countries.”

Marko Lenarcic, Director of Hiking & Biking Slovenia said: “The number of people coming to Slovenia for a cycling holiday has increased every year both in terms of family holidays and couples looking to explore a new country.

“The Mura and Drava River cycling trails are amongst the most popular routes for cyclists along with the Prekmurje and Dolenjska regions.”

Wheel2Wheel Holidays offer a number of cycling tours to Slovenia from the Maribor and Hot Springs to a Best of Slovenia 11 day cycle tour.
