Bicycle Tourism: on the Trail to Economic Development
62 Prairie Perspectives Bicycle tourism: on the trail to economic development Jeff Pratte, University of Winnipeg Abstract: Bicycle tourism has remained on the fringes of the North American tourism industry while it has been in the European mainstream. A recent increase in bicycle tourism in Canada and the United States, however, has brought this phenomenon to the attention of many jurisdictions, and they are viewing cyclists as a potentially lucrative clientele. Minnesota began developing a system of bikeways in the 1970s and several trails in their system have developed into popular tourist draws and bicycle tourism has been seen as a great success. This paper discusses the essential ingredients of bicycle tourism and examines the role of trails in tourism development using Minnesota as a case study. Introduction A long-time tourism staple in many European countries, bicycle tourism is emerging in North America as a popular and economically viable market. This growth has been restricted to a few geographical areas, and in many cases has been focused around trail networks. According to Lumsdon (2000) there is an increasing latent demand in North America for bicycle tourism, although it has only been successfully developed in a few North American jurisdictions, including Minnesota Traditionally the mainstream has consumed a mass tourism product based on regeneration and relaxation that has often focused on “sun, sand and sex” tourism or a commercialized version of an area’s history and culture. These forms of tourism are generally associated with high costs to host communities, either of a social or environmental nature. In recent decades, however, there has been a change in the market as a public that is better traveled and more discerning is demanding more variety in tourist needs, types and patterns. -

Yet, as many have contended, the Chateau Frontenac is not rea lly a chateau, not even a public monument, but simply a hotel.4 Today, the image of the "Chateau"-as it is commonly re ferred to-has become the trademark of Quebec City, used as architectural shorthand for the French-Canadian capital.
