One source of the increased demand is Backroads’ popular new Dolce Tempo segment, which, since its launch in 2020, has opened up the world of active travel to a new group of people. Featuring dedicated e-bike adventures on all Dolce Tempo bike tours and relaxed routes on walking and multi-adventure tours. Dolce Tempo trips were designed for travelers who want to enjoy a taste of the active experience along with plenty of flexibility to spend time exploring at a slower pace, lounging at luxurious hotels, discovering fascinating local culture and more. With many people discovering the pleasures of an active lifestyle this year, it’s no surprise Backroads is seeing a surge in newcomers interested in incorporating incredible biking and walking adventures into their vacations.
