Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Road transport and tourism

Mobility on road is a significant element of transport for tourism (see also II.3.1). Some road transport modes and vehicles are specifically intended and designed for tourism use. Obviously, a relevant proportion of the use of passenger cars may be linked to tourism purposes and this traffic causes seasonal or periodical (e.g., in the beginning and ending of summer holidays) and territorial peak load on some elements of the network (e.g., on access roads to seaside resorts). Taxis, shuttle services and shared mobility on road (ride-sharing, ride-hailing, etc.) also have their role in tourism-related trips (e.g., to and from airports, remote tourism sites or during night hours). In public transport, some types of services usually feed tourism (e.g., long-distance or international bus lines to tourism destinations, local services to destination areas or attraction sites).

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.
