“The trend of traveling that combines sport and wellness is gaining ground all over the world. Cycling Tours in Hanoi and surrounding areas to target foreign tourists while encouraging domestic travelers to take part in,” he said.
“Besides, travelers usually prefer touring in a small group, in compliance with the Government’s requirements on Covid-19 pandemic prevention and control,” he added.
According to Lan Huong, an office worker in Hanoi, cycling is a good sport to help lose fat, gain muscle especially for the legs, and release stress after work.
“I used to pedal around West Lake to exercise. When learning about the bike cycling tour, my friends and I immediately joined the trip to discover more hidden beauties of the city, something we could not do if only cycling around the West Lake,” she told The Hanoi Times.
In addition, VGreen Travel Club also introduced 13 cycling itineraries departing from Hanoi to other localities such as Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Nam Dinh; Hanoi - Hoa Binh - Thanh Hoa Tour; Hanoi - Yen Bai - Ha Giang Tour, among others.
Tourists need to be fully vaccinated and with proof of a negative result of the Covid-19 test to be able to travel.
The organizer also provides specialized electric sports bicycles to help travelers easily move on all terrains. The tours are scheduled to be held every weekend, starting at the end of November 2022.
