Biking boosts UK tourism
Thu, 18 Aug 2005
Motorcyclists contribute nearly £400 million to UK tourism, according to the Motor Cycle Industry Association.
With an eye on the upcoming August bank holiday the MCI lauds the advantages of travelling by motorcycle.
Insuring your bike is much cheaper than taking out a car insurance policy and motorcycles also get free access to the London congestion charge zone.
Its survey of 2,000 UK riders found that 84 per cent prefer to use their bike on holiday and short breaks – even though most have access to cards. Commonly citied advantages include beating the traffic jams and freedom from fixed public transport schedules.
Bikers on holiday also spend an average of £68 a day in the communities they visit.
Craig Carey-Clinch MCI's director of public affairs said: "Motorcycling is more than just an alternative form of daily transport. Holidaying by bike is an excellent way of seeing more of the British Isle's breathtaking scenery at your own convenience.
"It contributes a significant amount to local tourism, opens up great opportunities for exploration and means that you can avoid the time and expense of driving by car or the restrictions of public transport."
