Transportation Systems for Tourism

Abstract

Transport is integral and inherent in the process of tourism, and the increase in tourism would certainly lead to an increase in transportation. When destinations emerge and turn out to be major tourist centers, demand for transport will also increase by default, which will have a consequent increase in transport infrastructure. This is in addition to the transport need for the people of the place.
