Mountain bike tourism is predicted to have a great future. Experts believe that it will become a central element of Alpine summer tourism and is likely to compensate for the increasingly uncertain winter business. Although mountain bikers have been in the Alps for over twenty years, they are still a mystery to many tourism professionals, authorities, conservationists, hunters and farmers.

The book "Perspectives on Mountain Bike Tourism" by Thomas Giger helps to understand mountain bikers. It contributes to sustainable solutions, promotes safe and modern routes, supports well thought-out conflict solutions and provides ideas for successful and contemporary tourism offers. The book is based on a structured collection of texts on all aspects of modern mountain bike tourism. It is based on the edited presentations given at the "Ride Mountain Bike Congress" in Chur.

As publisher of the mountain bike magazine "Ride" and the mountain bike maps "Swiss Singletrail Maps", author Thomas Giger has shaped Swiss mountain bike tourism over the last ten years. In his book "Perspektiven Mountainbike Tourismus", Giger shares the experiences and insights he has gathered from the sport of mountain biking and the "Ride Mountain Bike Congress" in Chur. He thus makes an important contribution to professional, sustainable and successful mountain bike tourism in the Alps.
