ABSTRACT

Introduction With the high profile given to air travel, it is easy to forget that most international tourist journeys as well as domestic trips are undertaken by surface modes of transport. This case study examines the issues relating to motor vehicles at the destination and the various approaches to transport management. On completion of this case study you will:

1 Understand the benefits of motorized travel for the tourist. 2 Be aware of the problems that motorized transport poses at the destination. 3 Recognize the benefits of managing transport at the destination by creating new

facilities and separating tourist traffic from local traffic. 4 Recognize the benefits of park and ride schemes where motor vehicles are separated

from the attraction. 5 Understand the success criteria for the various approaches to traffic management.
