Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Key definitions of aviation

Aviation means air transport, i.e., the transport of passengers and goods by air. A major advantage of aviation overground transport is its speed; long distances can be covered by air transport in the shortest possible time. The atmosphere that can be used for aviation is called airspace. In civil aviation, this generally extends from the ground to an altitude of 10-12 km above the surface, to the boundary of the troposphere and stratosphere for subsonic (below the speed of sound, i.e., below Mach 1) flight (Dileep 2019).

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.
