TOURISM

BUSINESSES WHO LOOK AFTER US

Tourists are everyone but sometimes it is nice to receive particular consideration because we have special needs such as youth activities, people with disabilties, senior citizens, parents with children and bicycle riders. We, CBUG support people with disabilities who use tricycles and wheel chairs and people pushing perambulators. We also believe that bicycle tourism has great potential when facilities are provided for everyone according to their needs.

For only $50 CBUG corporate membership, those businesses who provide special services for people who ride bicycles, tricycles and wheelchairs; and businesses or organisations who provide important information; will be listed on this page.

Contact CBUG if you would like to be listed on this tourism business page. Register your interest.
