Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Transport as tourism

In many cases, transport is an essential element of the tourism experience, i.e., the attraction itself (Figure 5). The high value as an experience comes from the heritage, nostalgia, peculiarity, uniqueness or novelty, as well as it may be attached to the physical activity while moving from one point to another. Usually, movement forms part of the experience, i.e., travelling is part of the tourism experience. And, indeed, there are other tourism products, wherein a present or future element of the transport system is considered an attraction, but transportation (movement, travel) of tourists is not required during their visit.

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.
