    another by plane. It is one of the major modes of
    travel in which tourists are chartered from one
    tourist destination to another. Without this
    industry, other tourism products, like car rentals,
    hotels and resorts, food establishments and tourist
    spots, will be at a standstill.

    oldest mode of transport. It has the largest carrying
    capacity and is most suitable for carrying bulky goods
    over long distances. q It has played a very significant
    role in bringing different parts of the world closer and

    guided by the tracks on which they run.
    Advantages of Rail Transportation

    • Cheaper for long distance travel


    • Dependable service

    infrastructure and using new technologies speeds up
    the development of tourism.

    tourist attractions.

    transportation mode in tourism are:

    • Time
    • Distance
    • Comfort
