MTB Oxygen is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote sports, recreation, healthy lifestyle and
alternative tourism in the Republic of Macedonia. We are founded in 1997 in Skopje. We are a member of
Macedonian Cycling Federation and with our cycling team we have won awards for the best mountain
biking cycling club in Macedonia for 2015, 2016 and 2017. We have Macedonian mtb cycling champions in
all categories Cadets, Juniors, Elites female and male and they are all guided and coached by Amar
Njemcevic Level 2 UCI MTB coach from Bosnia. Besides Macedonian cycling league we continuously
compete in many international races. The development of mountain biking in Macedonia inevitably
contributed to the rise of the, so called, active and alternative tourism. MTB Oxygen has been a dynamic
supporter of the development of active and alternative tourism in Republic of Macedonia over the past 15
years. We have marked thousands of trails with cooperation of local municipalities and we were actively
involved in a number of seminars and workshops regarding development of sports and active tourism
within non government and government institutions.

As an active member of the tourism cluster within the USAID project MCA, MTB Oxygen promoted
Macedonian tourist capacities to the foreign delegates from Vermont, USA, within the event VERMOUNT
OUTREACH. Furthermore, we were closely involved in the presentation of the Macedonian capacities to 25
world tour operators during their visit to Macedonia. We promoted the Macedonian possibilities for active
and alternative tourism to the biggest German and Russian tour operators and we visited several European
tourism fairs. MTB Oxygen together with RICHARD BANGS ADVENTURES – YAHOO promoted Macedonia
and its capacities for active tourism through one of the largest INTERNET search engines Yahoo. We were
hosts to the French citizens Nathalie Cuche – reporter, Eric Beallet – photographer, Bruno Laval – bike tester
and Olivier Durbec – doctor, who were doing a report on Macedonia for one of the most famous European
magazines for alternative tourism from Switzerland. We partner with a number of travel agencies in the
Republic of Macedonia. We are an active member and a supporter of

municipalities and other educational institustions on various subjects. We have extensive experience in
organizing not only seminars and educational events but also professional events with national and
international unions, thus confirming our knowledge and experience in organizing such events.
