Transport & Tourism by Prof. Dr. S. D. Takalkar

---

Book Summary:

Travel is an inherent part of tourism, whether as a functional means of transportation, such as between origin and destination or within the destination, or as a key element of the holiday experience itself; as in cruising or traveling along scenic and/or historic routes. As tourism transport is dealt with rather superficially, within a few paragraphs in most tourism text-books, there is a paucity of academic texts dealing with, tourism transport in any great detail. Therefore, this book is designed as an introductory text to provide students and other interested parties with the necessary background information to gain a comprehensive understanding of the transportation markets. Transportation modes will be defined and the different types of transportation available within each mode, as well as their particular use within the tourism industry will be elucidated from a mainly European and North American perspective.
