Transport for Tourism provides a novel and stimulating assessment of the effects of tourism travel and the challenge this poses for transport planners, providers and policy makers in the 1990s. Unique in addressing the relationship between transport and tourism at an introductory level, the book covers key topics such as the role of government policy, supply and demand relationships, quality control systems, health and sustainability, and environmental impact. A range of international case studies--including transport in Bermuda, Singapore airways, British airways and Japanese transport systems--provide insight into these issues. The interdisciplinary approach ensures a holistic treatment of this important topic.
