Objective
The objectives of the proposed project are to address the issues of Task 12.6 of the Transport RTD Programme (Study on Impact of Tourism on Transport and Analysis of Policy Relevant Implications), i.e. :
(i) to analyse the share and dynamics of tourism in total mobility;
(ii) to review existing visitor management practices, especially in European cities with large tourism flows, and
(iii) to demonstrate the need for a Community transport initiative on this issue.
Demographic and socio-economic factors, as well as changes in business practices, will be taken into account for the purposes of the analysis. On the basis of the research findings, recommendations will be made on ways of combining statistics on tourism with those on mobility for transport purposes.
The principles and practices of visitor management of large, or unusual visitor flows will be analysed for a number of selected (sub)urban areas. These case studies will help identify opportunities of improving access to tourist attractions by other modes of transport than the private car. This will include the role of all local players i.e. transport operators (whether public or private), local authorities and the tourism industry, including tour operators, travel agents, hotels and reservation systems.
The main justification for this project is that the overall research will demonstrate how tourism statistics can be applied to related transport mobility, as well as providing lessons for urban and transport planners in managing tourism flows.
Integration of the data analysis with the best visitor management practices will lead to recommendations on the need for a Community transport initiative on visitor management, including a comprehensive research agenda, demonstration activities and recommendations for land-use planning and environment policies.
