ABSTRACT
The pursuit of tourism through the ages has stimulated a steady growth in the range of destinations visited. This is directly related to changes in transport technology and its affordability, or diffusion of tourism from a travelling elite initially to a wider mass market. As Page and Connell (2014) argue,
Fundamentally, human mobility is structured around distinct methods of transport: self-propelled modes (e.g. walking); augmented modes (using technology or tools to amplify our bodily effort such as skiing) and fuelled modes (especially motorized transport) . . . [and] these modes also require the infrastructure . . . to accommodate each form of transport and tourism.
