Press Release

The global motorcycle touring industry is entering a new era of collaboration and excellence with the launch of the Global Motorcycle Touring Network (GMTN). Founded by travel industry veterans and motorcycle enthusiasts David Reeves and Walter Nand, the owners of Ride The World Motorcycle Tours, GMTN is set to bring together the world’s top independent motorcycle touring operators under one trusted network.

With a commitment to professionalism, safety, and ethical business practices, GMTN aims to create a global alliance where tour operators work together to uphold industry standards, support each other, and provide motorcyclists with unforgettable experiences on two wheels. The network ensures that only legally operating, fully insured, and highly reputable companies are part of the membership, giving riders peace of mind when booking their next adventure.

Walter Nand has been elected as the official GMTN Coordinator, overseeing the network’s growth and facilitating collaboration among members. Along with Ride The World Motorcycle Tours and Ride The World Australia, the network’s initial membership includes Freedom Biker Tours (Canada), D Tours (UK and Northern Europe), iRideArusha (Tanzania) and Satoshi Rides (Japan) with more trusted operators expected to join in the coming months.

“The launch of GMTN marks a significant milestone in the motorcycle touring industry,” said Walter Nand. “By bringing together operators who share a passion for adventure, safety, and exceptional service, we are creating a trusted network that benefits both tour providers and riders alike.”

What GMTN Offers:

• A Trusted Seal of Approval: Riders can confidently book tours knowing that GMTN members operate legally, hold proper insurance, and adhere to high standards.

• Industry Collaboration: Members work together, sharing best practices and supporting each other rather than competing unfairly.

• Elevated Standards: GMTN ensures that all members provide professional, safe, and well-organized motorcycle touring experiences.

The Global Motorcycle Touring Network is actively welcoming applications from independent motorcycle tour operators who align with its values and commitment to excellence.
