  • Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail Visitor Survey 2020
    LEAP Research Report No. 52 Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail Visitor Survey 2020 Lena Mkwara David Simmons Geoffrey Kerr November 2020 Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail Visitor Survey 2020 Lena Mkwara David Simmons Geoffrey Kerr Land Environment and People Research Report Report No. 52 November 2020 ISSN 1172-0859 (Print) ISSN 1172-0891 (PDF) ISBN 978-0-86476-452-2 (Print) ISBN 978-0-86476-455-3 (PDF) Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand Abstract This report presents the findings from a 2020 survey of Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail (A2O) cyclists. COVID-19 cancelled fieldwork before data collection was complete. The limited data indicate that cyclists are extremely satisfied with the A2O and associated services, and make substantial expenditures associated with their ride. The A2O was a strong attractant to cyclists, the large majority of whom would not have visited the districts in the absence of the trail. Keywords A2O Cycle Trail, tourist attractions, tourism spending, economic attribution model, Mackenzie District, Waitaki District Acknowledgements This project benefitted immensely from the contributions of others. We wish to thank the following people for their generosity and assistance. Waitaki District Council, Tourism Waitaki and Cycle Journeys for their guidance and support. Accommodation providers and visitor centre operators who assisted with the distribution of survey cards. Lincoln University colleagues who peer reviewed the survey instrument. Dr Sally Driml, University of Queensland, for peer review of the survey instrument and the economic attribution model. Dr Yvonne Mathews, University of Waikato/Waikato Regional Council, for structuring the interactive mapping inputs. Dr Bentry Mkwara for GIS mapping assistance.

But where to go? Where were the beauty spots? Which roads should I avoid? And what services could I expect to find? This was back before the New Zealand Cycle Trail was even a twinkle in a Kennett brother’s eye, before the launch of Google maps, and before blogging had taken hold. What a joy then it was to stumble across David Stillaman’s website cycletour.org.nz ; crammed with useful advice and with the promise of so much happy, cycling freedom. That year I followed some of David’s suggested South Island routes and by the end of the tour I was completely hooked. New Zealand has seen a phenomenal uptake in cycling, especially since the opening of the New Zealand Cycle Trail circa 2009. Along with this have come a growing number of online cycling resources. But still the cycletour site continues to hold its own, being one of the few websites devoted to self-guided touring.

Abstract This report presents the findings from a 2015/16 survey of users on the Alps 2 Ocean (A2O) cycle trail. The A2O, running from Aoraki/Mt Cook to Oamaru, is the longest trail in the New Zealand Cycle Trail (NZCT) network. The survey profiled current users (demographics, importance of A2O for area visit) and described their use of the A2O (amount ridden, group size, previous A2O experience, ride logistics, other activities). The survey also measured satisfaction and expectations relating to a variety of A2O amenity and support services. Other questions explored impressions of the A2O more generally and within the context of user experience of other cycle trails in the NZCT network.
