Changes to our Registration Process

 

“This was my first TDA tour and now I’m hooked. Halfway into this one I had already booked 2 other TDA tours.” – Raul, Golden Buddha Ride

“TDA has done it again! The tour exceeded all my expectations. The routes were well planned and never boring!” – Dennis, Trans-Himalaya

TDA has had a wonderful problem over the last 18 months: Our tours are very much in demand. But as tours sell out and waitlists grow, some of you are missing out.

In 2021 we made the registration fee transferable – meaning people could change their mind and switch to another tour anytime before the entry fee payment deadline. This was done to help people regain their comfort with travel planning amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-era. Since then, we have seen a significant increase in cancelled and transferred registrations. It is important for us as organizers, and for those of you hoping to join a tour, to know how committed other riders are to the tours they have registered for.

Registration Fee is Non-Transferable

It is for the reasons above that as of today, registration fees are non-transferable for all new registrations (existing registrations can still use their one-time transfer). Once you pay, the US$150 fee holds your place until the entry fee payment deadline (3 months before the tour starts). Registration fees remain non-refundable.

We are thrilled to see such strong demand for our tours. Our loyal cyclists have returned in force, and we had over 150 people join their first TDA Global Cycling tour last year. More and more people around the world are experiencing the unique pleasure of long-distance cycle touring. That is amazing!

We believe this small change will allow us as organizers and you as devoted riders to make future plans with as much certainty as possible. We are excited to bring you many more tours in the years ahead. Thank you for your support and see you on the road!
