Accessibility of Alpine tourism locations by public transport from major European cities
Description
The study examines the accessibility of 13 Alpine regions in Austria by public transport. The focus is on travel by train. In addition to the duration of the journey, the frequency of transfers and the railway service, public transport in the tourist destinations was also analysed. Travel costs were collected and compared on a sample basis according to different modes of transport. Currently, less than 10% of tourists arrive by train. The study identifies the causes of this and makes recommendations on how to increase this proportion. The prerequisite for this is that the tourism industry and traffic management cooperate intensively at regional, national and international level. The study is part of a cross-border study of travel behaviour in the Alpine region within the framework of the Alpine Convention.
