Transportation towards Tourism Sustainability

[admin admin]

 

Transportation is the most basic human need. It is the act of moving something from one place to another (Bougdah et al. 2017). Also, the transport sector covers different modes such as; road transport, railway, waterway, and air transport. According to the Global Facilitation Partnership (GFP) for Transportation and Trade, more than 80% of the world trade is carried by sea, constituting by far the most important means of transport of goods (Vince 2003). However, in 1841, Thomas Cook realized the first organized travel using a train, with a steam power engine. From that time, transportation became an inseparable part of tourism. According to the UNWTO (2017), sustainable tourism takes into account economic, social, and environmental impacts, addressing all stakeholders in a particular destination. Yet, the World Tourism Organization (2004) and Mammadov (2012) agree with the above, since maintaining sustainable tourism is necessary to encourage a high level of tourist satisfaction and to be able to ensure a new experience for them, as transportation is an integral part of this sector.
