2. Importance of Transportation
Transportation is an integral part of the tourism industry. It is largely
due to the improvement of transportation that tourism has expanded.
The advent of flight has shrunk the world, and the motor vehicle has
made travel to anywhere possible. Transportation in tourism is most
often seen as just part of the tourism system which is in charge of
bringing the tourists to the destinations, a means of getting around
the place and leaving it once the duration of the trip is over. The
improvement in transportation modes plus low fares has increased the
accessibility of areas once considered off-the-beaten-path.
