Abstract


Cycle tourism is a leisure tourist activity, along which the trip and sightseeing is done on the bike. There is a strong link between mountain hiking and mountain cycling tourism. Cycle tourism is a combination of sport, nature, travel and culture. Covasna County began developing a system of bikeways in the 2010s and several trails in their system have developed into popular tourist draws and cycle tourism has been seen as a great success. This paper discusses the essential ingredients of cycle tourism and examines the role of trails in tourism development using Covasna County as a case study.
