Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Attraction

In the literature, tourist attraction has a lot of different connotations in the Hungarian literature (Michalkó 2012). It has some physical extent, i.e., it is tangible and spectacular, but it is also part of the information and knowledge about the object in people’s minds and the emotions they generate. If, for example, we want to visit a large international football stadium, which by its size and architecture may in itself be an impressive sight for visitors but depending on whether the passive sport tourist is a fan, a rival or neutral of the team, or is bound to it by some other experience, the tourist will experience emotions as a result of this knowledge and experience. Nowadays, the attraction is increasingly the tourist product itself, as in the case of, for example, party tourism, shopping tourism, film tourism, conference tourism, sports tourism, etc., while some people travel to Paris just to visit the Eiffel Tower.

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.
