Holding the “Accueil Vélo” label has several advantages for an establishment. First of all, it helps to attract a constantly growing clientele of bicycle tourists. Cyclists often look for establishments that offer services adapted to their needs, and the “Accueil Vélo” label is a recognized guarantee of quality. What’s more, the label helps establishments to stand out from the competition and improve their visibility, notably through better referencing on tourist sites and specialized guides. Last but not least, the label can also help build customer loyalty by offering a quality stay experience.
No, the “Accueil Vélo” label is not reserved exclusively for tourist accommodation. It can be awarded to different types of establishments and services that wish to welcome cycle tourists in the best possible conditions. This includes tourist offices, sightseeing sites, bike rentals, restaurants, and even service providers such as bike repair shops. The aim is to create a comprehensive network of services tailored to the needs of cyclists, offering them a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.
