To be able to assimilate relations between tourism sector and transportation sector and to know development trends.

Course Content

Transportation has played an extremely important role in the development of tourism throughout history. In parallel with the development of trade, transportation has also developed, diversified and emerged as a sector in itself. The developments in the transportation sector have brought important opportunities for the growth and strengthening of the tourism industry. We cannot say that transportation exists for tourism, but the tourism industry continues to develop through transportation. Tourism consists of people's activities related to travel. This reveals the importance of the mutual relationship between tourism and transportation. While the development of tourism requires better transportation opportunities, the development of transportation services encourages tourism. All transportation systems are interactive with the tourism system and contribute to this system. What is important is to correctly identify these components and to understand the important relationship between them in different contexts. A more in-depth analysis should address the impact of each component's increase or decrease in tourism demand on transport enterprises. In the essence of the phenomenon of tourism, the fact that people consistently act to move from the places they live to tourism destination regions clearly shows the importance of transportation in the tourism system. It is not possible to talk about the phenomenon of travel and tourism without transport. Tourism cannot be realized without transport services and components. The relationship between the tourism industry and the transportation of roads, railways, sea and inland waterways and airways is explained in detail under a separate heading.
