PURPOSE OF THE MODULE
Transport for Tourism introduces you to the exciting world of travel. This module equips you with
a well-rounded, in-depth knowledge base of the transport in tourism industry within the context of
tourism management. You should be able to discuss the concepts, principles and theories relating
to the structure of transport; transport and government policy; the demand and supply of transport;
and air, water and land transport.
APPROACHES TO THE MODULE AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
This module is based on the outcomes-based approach to education and training. You will find a
number of learning outcomes below and at the beginning of each study unit. These learning
outcomes are there to guide you through the learning material. They inform you about what
you have to be able to demonstrate at the end of each study unit. They also indicate which
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values you may be expected to demonstrate in the assessment
process, that is, in the assignments and the examination. You should understand that these
learning outcomes are linked to the self-evaluation activities in the learning guide and the
assignments and the examinations. Therefore, they are a means whereby we can evaluate
or assess a student’s mastery of a specific section of the course/module. The learning
outcomes therefore act as your “navigational compass” through this module.
MODULE OUTCOMES
After working though the various learning units of this module, you should be able to do the
following:
1. Explain the role of transport in tourism.
• Define transport concepts.
• Explain the relationship between transport and tourism.
• Explain the functions of transport in tourism.
• Explain the transport process.
• Explain why multimodal transport is important in tourism.
