Mountain bike tourism includes an array of products and packages that appeal to a broad range of biking interests from families seeking safe guided experiences in scenic environmments to hard core mountain bikers seeking personal challenge, thrills and adventure.
Mountain bike tourism products should offer unique opportunities and rewarding experiences on authorized trail systems. Products offered must have the ability to capture the imagination and motivate consumers to invest the time and money to travel to the destination. Mountain bike products must also consistently meet the expectations of the participants and adequately meet industry standards for safety and management practices if they are to succeed over the long term.
The following is a list of possible mountain biking products that can be offered depending on what resources and support are available at the local level.
