    Transport is a key element of the tourism industry for three reasons: 1) As transportation costs make up a significant portion of international travel costs, fluctuations in transport costs strongly influence tourism demand. 2) The tourism industry relies on efficient, fast, and inexpensive transportation of large numbers of people within and between countries. This requires substantial infrastructure investments. 3) Improved transportation has fueled tourism growth, and expanding tourism drives further development of transportation infrastructure. Accessibility of destinations is fundamental to tourism.

    Why transport is a key element

    for tourism industry?


    • Historically, travelers were explorers and
    merchants looking to learn about regions,
    potential markets and to find goods and
    resources.
    • As time moved on and as transportation became
    more reliable, traveling became a more mundane
    activity taking place in an organized environment;
    tourism. In the modern world, traveling is more
    centered around annual holidays and can be fairly
    well predicted.
    • Tourism, as an economic activity, is characterized by a high demand level of
    elasticity. As transport costs are significant for international transportation,
    demand is strongly influenced by cost fluctuations. Therefore, transport is a key
    element in the tourism industry. The demand in international and even national
    transport infrastructures implies a large number of people to be transported in an
    efficient, fast and inexpensive manner. It requires heavy investments and complex
    organization. Well organized terminals and planned schedules are essential in
    promoting effective transportation facilities for tourists, notably since the industry
    is growing at a fast rate.
    • Transport is the cause and the effect of the growth of tourism. To start with,
    the improved facilities have incited tourism, and the expansion of tourism has
    incited the development of transport infrastructure. Accessibility is the main
    function behind the basics of tourism transport. In order to access sought after
    destinations, tourists have a range of transportation modes that are often used in
    a sequence. Air transport is the main mode for international tourism, which
    normally entails travel over long distances. Growth rates of international air traffic
    are pegged with growth rates of international tourism.
