Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Transport for tourism

Transport for tourism means all transport infrastructures and services that let tourists reach and access attractions and facilitate the provision of tourism services. Most of it coincides with elements of transport networks and services used by journeys of other motivations. The use of transport modes for tourism purposes is diverse: tourists ride most of the public transport services (e.g., intended for commuting) rarely, cars and public transport in tourist destinations casually. However, flights, long-distance bus and rail services, taxis, car rental services and ferries partly, tourist coaches, cruise ships and heritage railways are mainly used by tourists.

Passenger transport merging different sub-sectors such as urban and road transport (e.g., coaches, automobiles, public transport), rail transport (e.g., luxury tourist trains), water transport (e.g., maritime or river cruises), and aviation (e.g., airlines, special air transport options – such as ballooning or hang gliding) is the cornerstone of tourism. The strong relationship between the fields of tourism requires an understanding of the theoretical background of tourism. In the first part of the book, the essentials of tourism, transport, and their interactions are presented. The book also focuses on innovative transport solutions (e.g., automation, shared mobility) that could transform passenger transport and tourism in the near future. In the second part, the characteristics of active tourism, one of the most emerging areas of recreational tourism are presented in detail. Based on the current trends, the conceptual framework, the supply and demand side of recreation and sport tourism are described in detail. The main trends, drivers and achievements of sports tourism are illustrated by Hungarian and international examples.
