The
Royal Dutch Touring Club ANWB (Dutch: Koninklijke Nederlandse Toeristenbond
ANWB) is a travelers' association in the Netherlands, supporting all modes of
travel. It provides test reports, travel services and roadside assistance.
The ANWB was founded on July 1, 1883 in Utrecht under the name Nederlandsche
Vélocipèdisten-Bond. Two years later the name was changed to Algemene
Nederlandsche Wielrijders-Bond (General Dutch Cycling Association), where the
abbreviation ANWB comes from. Since the association was formally called "tourist
association" (1905), the letters ANWB no longer have any meaning. Since the end
of the nineteenth century, the association has been concerned not only with
cyclists, but also with motorists, hikers, horse riders, motorcyclists, water
sports enthusiasts, winter sports enthusiasts and campers.
