Elements of transportation
1. The way:
- Roads, raiways and inland waterways restrict vehicles to movement to
a specific pattern, while air and sea allow flexibility
- For roads, railways and inland waterways; the availability of the way
is very important
2. The terminal: The simplest is parking for private cars while the most
complex is an airport
3. The carrying unit:
- It is the actual media which facilitates the movement
- Vehicles need to be altered easily and quickly to accommodate
changing tourism demand
4. The motive power: It is closely related to the capacity, type of the
carrying unit, demand, and the desired speed
and range of the vehicles
(Power Point 20.3)
Terminals, especially airports, have become
not only design pieces in themselves,
but also the center of hub and spoke traffic.
In some cases they have grown to the size
of a small town to deal with transit traffic
(e.g.: Changi airport, Singapore)
(Power Point 20.4)
International tourist movements
and transport for tourism
have always been affected
by the activities of governments.
(Power Point 20.5)
Airlines are important within
the national economy for foreign exchange and
fare payments from foreign travellers.
Therefore, airlines are generally owned
by the state, are subsidized by governments,
become the symbols of prestige,
and fly the colors of the national flag.
(Power Point 20.6)
Transport for tourism operates
within a competitive political
and economic environment,
so it has been regulated and controlled
by governments.
