"The Directors of CTC Cycling Holidays & Tours Ltd and the Cycling UK Board sadly announce that after 20 years and hundreds of tours across the globe, Cycling UK’s subsidiary trading arm, CTC Cycling Holidays & Tours Ltd (CTC H&T) will cease trading in October 2021. CTC H&T will be honouring holiday bookings already made and will run the remaining tours this season where the minimum participant levels have been reached."

Many of our members have enjoyed multiple years of trips with CTC Holidays, and this is a sad loss. Others will know more about the causes but I believe that CUK recently reduced the support available to CTC Holidays and imposed onerous conditions on tours and tour leaders which some felt made it impossible for leaders to organise holidays. And of course, it has been an extremely difficult period for the whole tourism industry throughout the pandemic.
Yet another withdrawal of Cycling UK from cycle touring.

Some former tour leaders have already jumped ship and their tours are available here.

Where are the snows of yesteryear?
You could rely on CTC tours for some least visited countries for cycle touring - including my trips to Armenia, Morocco, Albania/Macedonia & South Africa, but there are other options, such as https://www.redspokes.co.uk/ (that I used for my trip to Sri Lanka), which should hopefully provide viable alternatives for adventure cycling.
