2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Identify the elements and types of tourism
transport
Understand the relationship between transport
and tourism.
3. Write your insights about the quote on a ½
yellow paper
“ALL TOURISM INVOLVES
TRAVEL, BUT NOT ALL TRAVELS
INVOLVE TOURISM”
4. TOURISM VS TRANSPORTATION
Tourism
Is the movement of people from their usual place of residence to another
destination for either pleasure, recreation, or other purpose.

Responsible for moving people, animals, and goods from one location to
another, whether by land, air, or sea. Transportation has been an essential
piece of the travel industry.
6. TOURISM INDUSTRY HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

people travelling to other locations, either domestically or
internationally, for leisure, social or business purposes.
The hospitality industry means providing services such as
stay, lodging, food, drinks, entertainment and more related
services of facilities that a traveler or tourist may need or
which can be of their help and comfort.

7. Three critical aspects that frame the transport/tourism relationship:
1.Tourists ultimately travel to and from a destination (or several destinations).
2. Understanding supply and demand characteristics in relation to tourism is critical in the
planning and management of transport infrastructure.
3.The dynamic nature of transport can have significant impact on tourism in a destination;
(disruptions can be political, natural or business). Speed, cost, capacity, environmental impact
and accessibility
8. Without transportation there won't be the travel and
tourism industry, people won't have means to reach
other places that they desire to see.Therefore, the
development on transportation is linked to the
development of tourism, if transportation grows,
tourism also grows
9. Effects of transportation to Tourism
Development.
Transportation links tourists with various tourist attractions.
Transportation affects the mobility of tourists, in addition to
influencing their demand and motivation to visit a certain tourist
destination
Transport networks play a key role in development of new tourist
destinations, especially in context of accessibility and connectivity:
Transportation is also important in terms of promoting the growth
and development of an existing tourist destinations. On the other hand,
transportation leads to pollution, and this can affect both the wildlife
and the natural habitat, thereby driving tourism away
10. Transportation Management inTourism
The travel and tourism industry is reliant on transportation
service providers. Getting people from one place to another
isn’t as direct as it looks. Clients expect and demand the
highest quality transportation for the lowest possible price.
Considering budgets while retaining constantly high
transportation standards is challenge in tour and travel
industry.
11. Strategic transportation management
in tourism helps guarantee/ensure the
right means of transport is provided
at the right time and for the right
price.
12. Principles of Transportation Management and
Operations
Economy of Scale- It refers to the characteristic that transportation
cost per unit of weight decreases when the size of the shipment
increases.
Economy of Distance It refers to the characteristic that transportation
cost per unit of distance decreases as distance increases.
14. Mass Transportation
Mass transit, the movement of people within urban areas using group
travel technologies such as buses and trains.The essential feature of
mass transportation is that many people are carried in the same
vehicle (e.g., buses) or collection of attached vehicles (trains).This
makes it possible to move people in the same travel corridor with
greater efficiency, which can lead to lower costs to carry each person
or—because the costs are shared by many people—the opportunity
to spend more money to provide better service, or both.
15. Advantages of Mass Transportation
Environmental Impacts
Social Impacts of MassTransit
Economic Impacts of MassTransit
Reduces Congestion
SavesTime
Cost Effective
16. Disadvantages of Mass Transportation
Systems are economically feasible only in areas that have relatively
large populations.
Expensive to build and operate
Crowded, uncomfortable, dirty and unreliable. With limited budgets,
mass transit systems are seldom to maintain equipment and schedules.
Not convenient as the automobile- road vehicle, typically with four
wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor
and able to carry a small number of people.
17. MODES OF TRANSPORTS
LAND TRANSPORTATION
2 Types
* Road and Railways Transportation
WATER TRANSPORTATION
AIR TRANSPORTATION
18. Land transportation- covers all the land based transportation system
that provide for the movement of people, good, and services.
• Road Transport- Until 17th
century, horses were used for traveling,
automobile is the most popular and widely used mode of road
travel. To promote tourism the vehicle required are coaches and
tourist cars,
• Rail Transport- The most economical, convenient and popular
mode of travel especially for long distance travel around the world
19. Air Transport - The fastest method of transport.
Water Transport -
20. Factors to Consider in Choosing the most
Suitable Mode of Transportation
COST OF SERVICE
SPEED OF TRANSPORT
FLEXIBILITY
REGULARITY OF SERVICE
SAFETY
NATURE OF COMMODITY
