Transcripts
think back to the last vacation you took
how did you get there did you drive a
car fly in a plane
maybe you took a ride on a train
regardless you got there through some
kind of transportation
transportation is critical for the
tourism industry
if there isn't a way to get to the
destination people are simply not going
to walk or swim there
and there's more to it than that even if
there is a way to get there
that doesn't mean people will come
you'll find out why
on this lesson on transportation's
impact on tourism
the entire tourism industry is dependent
on transportation
a hotel in paris france catering to
tourists cannot survive if there is no
way for the tourists to get there
the same goes for a nature reserve in
thailand a snorkeling company near the
great barrier reef in australia
or a meditation retreat in india the
tourists get there through various modes
of transportation
such as automobiles airplanes
ships trains or in many cases a
combination thereof
only when the tourists get to their
destinations can they spend money and
prop up the local tourism industry
which includes companies that provide
accommodations food and drink
and entertainment of all sorts once the
customer reaches their preferred
destination
the transportation doesn't stop for
instance
if you could get a direct flight to a
very remote city in a developing nation
you might still avoid going there there
could be many reasons why but poor
transportation within the destination
is one of them why bother going to a
place if you cannot get around easily
enough due to a lack of transportation
in a location booming tourist centers
around the world try to ensure that
tourists have a very easy time getting
around via numerous methods such as bus
taxi train and rental vehicles
in addition to the obvious ways that
transportation and tourism are linked
there are also more subtle connections
to consider
for instance the modes of transportation
must accommodate the ebb and flow of
tourists with the seasons
more people may want to reach a
particular destination during the summer
and thus the transportation companies
must accommodate this with more vehicles
and staff during that time
if they do not or cannot the local
tourist economy will suffer
since fewer people will be able to get
there
the local cities congestion may play a
role as well
who cares that you can rent a car or
taxi in your vacation city if traffic
will prevent you from
actually going anywhere with such an
experience you might well tell your
friends and family back home about it
thus transportation isn't solely
dependent on the options available to
tourists
but also on the government that ensures
critical infrastructure is up to date
safety is another important component to
the relationship between tourism and
transportation
let's say that you've safely reached
your destination by plane
the city you are in has plenty of
transportation options
public buses private taxis and trains
sounds great right
but what if the roads are full of
sinkholes the taxi cabs aren't regulated
for mechanical safety
the drivers aren't vetted for criminal
histories and the trains have a
worldwide reputation for constantly
getting into accidents
how might you feel about traveling here
probably not great and for many it would
be enough for them to avoid the location
altogether comfort is another factor for
you to consider
what kind of customer does the local
tourism industry want to entice
if they are seeking to bring in the
customers who are going to be spending a
small fortune
then they better be thinking about
catering to every comfort of that
tourist
this may mean ensuring that there are
premium cabins on trains
first class availability on planes
reaching the destination
or even personal chauffeur services
within the city
all of these factors then affect price
not everyone is able to afford a very
expensive vacation
variance in budget means there need to
be a range of transportation options
available
for some people an iffy and
uncomfortable but very cheap tuck tuck
is going to be just fine
a variety of transportation methods
allows a location to cater to as many
different people
and budgets as possible transportation
prices affect tourism on a larger scale
as well
in other words if the plane tickets to
reach a destination are too expensive
fewer tourists will make the trip
[Music]
transportation is perhaps the single
most important element affecting the
tourism industry
without a way to get to or travel within
a destination
fewer tourists will find a way to visit
this means that hotels
restaurants museums and the local
economy will be affected by the lack of
tourists
people reach their method of destination
via planes trains
ships and automobiles once at their
destination
they may use similar methods to get
around the comfort
price security and expediency of the
method of transportation
will influence what kind of tourists
come to the destination
or how they get around there
