โฆ Synopsis
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 tourism transportation markets. Transportational modes (air, ground and water-based) are defined, and the different types of transportation available within each mode, as well as their particular use within the tourism industry, are elucidated from a mainly European and North American perspective. Historical developments of each market are also presented in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject matter before presenting current demand and supply trends. Furthermore, in order to understand the operational environment, applicable international institutional frameworks, selected national or regional agreements, and industry associations are presented. The book has 10 chapters. Available In Print
