(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 29, 2009 ) SOMERVILLE, MA– The cycling travel season is well underway and DuVine Adventures is already celebrating an increase in sales and customer count despite contrary results elsewhere in the travel industry. According to company President, Andy Levine, their passenger count is up 18%. In order to keep up with passenger demand, DuVine Adventures has already posted their 2010 dates and made them available for immediate booking while many other companies have not yet done the same.

Also, while many companies are scaling back their offerings, DuVine Adventures has launched more than 17 deluxe bicycling tours across 11 countries, including destinations in Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Ireland, Eastern Europe, South America, Canada and the United States, including new destinations in Italy and South Africa. They have also added a fleet of new bikes so travelers will enjoy their rides with increased comfort and performance – whether they choose a tour with easy, moderate, or challenging courses

This increase in customer count and revenue can be attributed to many things, one of them being the great value that accompanies all DuVine trips. DuVine Adventures’ tours typically include:
• All deluxe accommodations
• All breakfasts, signature lunches, gourmet dinners with local wine
• Two experienced bilingual guides and support vehicle
• Wine tastings
• Entrance fees to attractions
• Top of the line touring bicycle with helmet
• Route maps, transportation from tour starting point to ending point
• DuVine Adventures t-shirt, water bottle and luggage tag.

DuVine Adventures offers tours that pair easy, moderate and challenging cycling tours with fabulous culinary experiences including winery dinners and chateaux picnics. The company also specializes in designing tours for special events, delivering custom trips, multi-sport adventures, yoga/bike adventures, family travel, solo travel, and self-guided tours. Each tour is specifically designed to maintain a sense of balance between adventure and luxury – immersing each traveler in the local culture while providing luxurious accommodations, good food, and fine wines. On average, more than 25 percent of DuVine’s travelers are repeat customers.

Recent accolades include recognition by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ADVENTURE as Top Tour Operators on Earth; NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELER magazine cited DuVine’s Mendoza, Argentina tour as one of their “50 Tours of a Lifetime.” Additionally, AARP has named DuVine as a preferred adventure tour provider and creating specialty pricing for AARP members.
