Transport Systems in Travel and Tourism: Principles, Practices and Emerging Trends offers a structured guide to the systems that make modern travel and tourism possible. Designed for tourism, travel management, hospitality, business, geography and related learners, the book connects core concepts with practical industry applications and current developments. It begins with the foundations of transport and tourism, tracing the evolution of mobility and explaining how transportation influences destination growth, tourist behaviour and travel choices. Readers are introduced to tourism transport systems and Leiper’s Tourism Framework before moving into major transport modes, including road, rail, aviation and water-based travel. The book explores road tourism, tourist coaches, car rental and self-drive travel; railway tourism and luxury tourist trains in India; urban mobility, metro systems and smart transport; and the development, management and operations of civil aviation. It also covers airport management, airline operations, aviation regulation, air ticketing, CRS and GDS technologies, and airline marketing. Water-based topics include inland waterways, cruise and river cruise tourism, ports, ferries and coastal tourism. Later chapters address transport infrastructure, tourism transport planning, accessibility and the growing importance of inclusive mobility. A strong contemporary focus examines multimodal transport, intelligent transport systems, digital technologies, electric mobility, green transport and climate-resilient infrastructure. With learning objectives, chapter summaries, review questions, multiple-choice questions and analytical exercises, the book supports classroom teaching, self-study and professional reference. An informative resource for students, educators, researchers, tourism professionals, destination managers, transport planners and policy-oriented readers, this textbook provides a broad foundation for understanding how transportation shapes accessible, efficient and sustainable tourism.
