dear luis,
i'm now starting my phd in the field of transport and tourism with the
aim of integrating transport in the tourism planning process.
throughout my research, i have found some relevant informations which
may be of use to you, namely the following publications:
- Agence Française de l'Ingénierie Touristique (2000) 'Circulations
douces-organiser les déplacements dans les sites touristiques' - les
Cahiers de l'AFIT, AFIT
- English Tourism Council (2002) 'Tourism and Transport - The Issues and
Solutions', ETC
- Stephen Page (1999) 'Transport and Tourism', Longman
- Brian Richards (2001) 'Future Transport in Cities', Routledge
you should also have a look at the following websites:
http://www.soft-mobility.com
http://www.travelwise.org.uk
http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm46.htm
since it seems to be a potentialy interesting case study, i'd like to
keep informed on noosa's actions to tackle tourist car pressure.
hope this helps,
rui pimenta
