Produktbeschreibung

Transportation has been an integral part of the tourism industry; transportation links tourists with various tourist attractions. There is a general agreement that tourism expands more when there are better transportation systems. Tanzania tourism had been under performing compared to the natural heritage the country is endowed with. One of the things mentioned as the reason for under performance is poor transportation systems. The study used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to examine the developed hypotheses to be able to identify transportation needs for tourism promotion. The study identified transportation needs for tourism development among others, to be maintenance of the existing roads, construction of more roads, construction of local airports and enhancement of local flight operations. The study established that the level of security and safety in transportation systems is not bad though transportation costs are considered high by tourists. The study concludes by proving that tourism development could be even bigger if more could be done in various elements of transportation systems. The study ends up with recommendations for the government, and other stakeholders of tourism.
