Tourists need transportation services to move from one place to another. This can be by land, water, or air. Each mode of transportation follows a route: road system, rail tracks, air routes, or sea routes. Some are chartered and tailored to fit the tour schedule, while some follow a fixed schedule of arrivals and departures. Scheduled trips converge at some points called terminals, stations, interchanges, or hubs, where the tourist takes a connecting flight, or another mode of transportation. There are various modes of transportation that could be used by tourists to travel to and within destinations. Here are some of them.
The modes of transportation and related infrastructure affect a country or city’s ability to attract tourists, as access is one of the factors that influence travel decisions.
