Tourism and recreational activities pose many similar travel considerations, which typically differ from commuter travel and commercial transport issues. The relationship between tourism and transportation is derived primarily from the concept of tourism as a generator of travel demand and transportation as the key to accessing major tourist attractions. Transportation can be a critical element of the operation of visitor attractions and of supporting activities, such as gateway communities to national parks. Effective transportation planning can also produce appropriate solutions for balancing the traffic needs of different traveler groups during peak tourism seasons or special events. These relationships provide a common base of interest for transportation and tourism agencies and are thus the motivation for interagency coordination. The key to addressing these common interests (and their ultimate implementation) is the development of effective processes for coordination between various transportation agencies, tourism agencies, other planning organizations, and private-sector interests.
