• Why implement a HOTEL bike program?

• Bikes attract active guests looking for new experiences. • Bikes are an inexpensive alternative to renting cars or taking cabs in

most cities • Guests love them because they are a quick and easy mode of

transportation. • Bikes are a great way for guests to get out and explore everything

your surrounding area has to offer. Enhances the guests experience greatly.

• The cost of implementing a loaner bike program is relatively low. • Implementing a bike program is another way to promote your

property as a “healthy hotel” and/or “environmentally friendly.” • - See more at: http://hotelmag/blog Sherri Scheck-Merrill VP
