VUSSC/Content/Tourism/The Tourism System/Modes of transportation

At one time or other, people desire a change in environment and culture. The desire to escape from the challenges and stresses of life and achieve certain personal goals stimulate the travel desire.

So how do we move from one place to another? By some form of transportation.It can be by road, by air or by water.

• Cars

• Buses

• Trains

• Aircrafts/ aeroplanes - for long distances across many geographical planes

• Cruise-ships

There is a network of routes along which the vehicles travel – roads, tracks, air and sea lanes. At times these nodes become interchanged.

Transportation infrastructure from the generating country to the destination, is affected by the nodes or means of transportation.
