Tour 2

1. Unit 2
The Transportation and
Aviation Industry

2. Unit Objectives :
 Identify the major codes of transportation
for tourism.
 Identify the influences of political
positions or transportation for tourism.
 Analyze the issues and trends that will
have impacts upon transportation for
tourism.

3. Transport
 Is a fundamental component of tourism
industry.
 Transport is preconditioning for travel: it
facilitates the mobility and the movement
of tourists from their place of origin to
their destination and back.

4. 1. Conceptualizing Transport
and Tourism
two basic approaches have dominated the analysis of transport
and tourism:
 Transport for Tourism
 This is the transport as a utilitarian or
functional act which involves a mode or modes
of travel in moving from origin to destination
and for travel in the destination.
 it offers Low intrinsic value as a tourism
experience.
o (Taxi, Urban Bus, and metro.. Intercity rail
Flights)

5.  Transport as Tourism
 The mode of transport is integral to the
overall experience of tourism such as
cruising or taking a scenic railway journey.
High intrinsic value as a tourism experience.
o (Scenic car trails, Coach Tours, Cruises, City
walking Trails, Special activities :
Kayaking, Ballooning)

6. 2. Land-based Travel
2.1 The Car
 It is still widely neglected in tourism studies
because it is now such an accepted part of
everyday life than in impact and the use in
tourism is taken for granted and overlooked.

8. 2.2 Coach and Bus Transport
 The term coach is used to describe any publicly or
privately operated road service for
passengers, other than local scheduled bus
services.
 It thus embraces a wide range of tourist services
that are sold to public, both directly and through
other sectors and travel industry.

9. 2.3 Rail Travel
 was one of the prime movers of the
leisure revolution in Victorian and
Edwardian times, linked with the rise of
seaside resorts since it offered an
efficient mode of moving volumes of
urban passengers from a city to a
coastal destination.

11. 2.4 Cycling
 Rural destinations,
particularly those in
relatively flat but attractive
landscapes, have
recognized the growing
popularity of cycling as an
activity of visitors and
encouraged cyclists by
providing suitable trails
and informative leaflets
about the surrounding
countryside.

12. 2.5Tourism on foot
 Walking holidays in the mountains have a
long tradition and hiking and trekking
have both grown in popularity in recent
years.
 It is also important to towns and cities. In
the most popular urban destinations, trails
are often marked out by means of
symbols on pavements or signposts, just
as markers on trees enable visitor to find
their way along forest trails.

14. 3. Water-based Transport
3 Main forms of Water-based Transport:
1. Cruising
 Cruising by boat is a lifestyle that involves living for
extended time on a boat while traveling from place to
place for pleasure or luxury. Cruising generally refers to
trips of a few days or more, and can extend to round-
the-world voyages.

15. 2. Ferries
 A ferry (or ferryboat) is a boat or ship (a merchant ship)
used to carry (or ferry) primarily passengers, and sometimes
vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most
ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A
passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, is
sometimes called a water bus or Water taxi.
 Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many
waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between
points at a capital coast much lower than bridges or
tunnels. However, ship connections of much larger
distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like
the Mediterranean Sea) may also be called ferry
services, especially if they carry vehicles.

16. 3.Pleasure craft on inland waterways
 A pleasure craft (or pleasure boat) is a boat used for
personal, family, and sometimes sportsmanlike recreation.
Typically such watercraft are motorized and are used for
holidays, for example on a river, lake canal or waterway.
Pleasure craft are normally kept at a marina. They may
include accommodation for use while moored to the bank.

17. Punt
 A punt is a flat-bottomed boat with a square-cut bow, designed for use in
small rivers or other shallow water. Punting refers to boating in a punt.
The punter generally propels the punt by pushing against the river bed
with a pole. A punt should not be confused with a gondola, which is
propelled by an oar rather than a pole.
 Punts were originally built as cargo boats or platforms
for fowling and angling, but in modern times their use is almost
exclusively confined to pleasure trips.
 The term "punt" has also been used to indicate a smaller version of a
regional type of long shore working boat, for example the Deal Galley
Punt. This derives from the wide usage in coastal communities of the
name "punt" for any small clinker-built open-stem general purpose boat.
 In Canada, the term punt can also refer to any small flat-bottomed boat
with a square-cut bow, regardless of purpose, building material, or
propulsion source.
 In Australia, cable ferries are commonly referred to as punts.
