Cycling tourism takes Victoria up a gear

Cycling is booming across Australia, and Victoria is at the heart of the surge.

Biking is a refreshing way to immerse yourself in nature and discover places far from the usual tourist trail.

In 2024, Victoria had the highest number of visitors with a trip that included cycling of any Australian state or territory. The numbers speak for themselves:

• 4.6 million trips included a cycling experience
• Visitors spent 42 million visitor nights enjoying cycling adventures
• Together, these trips generated an incredible $6 billion in total spend.

Cycling is also attracting global participation, with 1 in 20 international visitors to Australia taking part in a cycling activity during their stay.

We're investing in cycling tourism to give visitors even more reasons to explore our stunning regions on 2 wheels.

From breathtaking coastlines and award-winning wineries to historic townships and wildlife encounters, cycling opens Victoria’s diverse landscapes in a unique and sustainable way.
