Abstract:
Scenic railway refers to the trains that operate for tourism purposes, which are mainly maintained for facilitating leisure activities, scenic tours, and heritage experiences. As both an extension of railway heritage and an important redevelopment method, this concept is meaningful for the touristic development of historical railways but has received less attention in academia. To understand the tourism and landscape values of scenic railways from a geo-historical perspective and discuss the recent techniques and methods for railway tourism, this article first introduces the relationship between railway and landscape and the concept of scenic railway in French literature. Secondly, it analyzes the current distribution of French scenic railways based on geographic information system (GIS) tools. Through georeferencing, mapping, data relating and joining, calculating, and classifying, different groups of scenic railways are systemized and published online. Following statistical treatment, the pattern of distribution of scenic railways in comparison with the standard-gauge railway system in France is revealed. Based on the discussions on scenic railways, further study should focus more on the landscape evaluation of scenic railways and its integration with other spatial technologies for deeper geo-analysis. Moreover, the research results can serve as a reference for the development of relative railway heritage and tourist activities.

AbstractTransport is a very important part of activities in the tourism sector. In addition to the transport of tourists to and within a destination, transport itself can be a tourist attraction. The aim of this paper is to analyse selected problems of railways in Slovakia (a decrease in the importance of railways for passenger transport in Slovakia in the past 20 years, discontinued passenger transport on certain railway tracks and the modernisation of other tracks, and zero-fare public rail transport services for certain categories of passengers), and to present good examples of the use of narrow-gauge railways for the purposes of tourism (the Tatra Electric Railways and the Kysuce-Orava Forest Railway).

Abstract:
From the second half of the 20th century, numerous railways, especially in industrial and mining areas, were abandoned for economic reasons. The activism of the “railfans”, who are fond of trains, has made it possible to set up voluntary associations that have been the lifeblood of the beginning of projects for the recovery of the historic railway heritage and the promotion of it in a touristic sense. This topic is worthy of attention, and during recent years it has been the focus of several research papers. A systematic literature review was performed using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes) methodology. This tool is a minimal set of evidence-based elements aimed at helping authors to carry out a systematic literature review. This systematic literature review sought to consolidate knowledge on the subject. The research team formulated three research questions related to the dynamics of railway heritage recovery, the dynamics of railway tourism and the relationship between sustainability and railway tourism. The findings highlighted that the railway tourism process always originates from a project for the restoration of railway heritage, possibly maintaining authenticity. The voluntary associations, along with their “railfans”, are the main stakeholder, not only preserving the rail heritage but also developing railway tourism activities. The touristic railway could regenerate the local community, with positive benefits on the local economy. Many tourists could be attracted by railway tourism destinations in that they wish to live memorable experiences related to the nostalgia of the past.

Abstract:
The value of historical railways and their important role in social, economic, technical, political, and cultural terms has led to their inclusion as industrial heritage attractions. This study aims to evaluate the heritage value of the Oraviţa–Anina linear railway, the first mountain railway in Romania. The assessment of the value of the railway involved both quantitative and qualitative methods. The value was assessed on the basis of a rigorous quantitative evaluation of key attributes of heritage railway, using a system of criteria and indicators. On the other hand, the selected qualitative methodology facilitated the critical interpretation of the perception of the local community as a beneficiary of the railway heritage and as an active stakeholder involved in its reuse. The qualitative evaluation of the heritage railway was also highlighted based on a critical analysis of tourists’ perceptions. The results indicate the usefulness of a mixed methodology for the complex evaluation of the value of a heritage railway and its sustainable capitalization. Railway tourism is a sustainable solution meant to stimulate interest in learning about local history and culture, and can at the same time contribute to the fulfillment of knowledge of the motivations that drive tourist demand.

[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT Today there are more than 160 rack railways around the world. Constantly (in winter and summer) about 60 of them operate. Half of all permanent roads are in Switzerland, where, as is known, more than 61 % of the territory is occupied by mountains. A rack railway is a special type of railway with a steep incline, which has toothed wheel gearings, usually located between track rails. The author tells in some detail about the history of their creation, construction and operation. Currently, they are used as a means of moving along tourist routes in mountainous terrain or as urban passenger transport (for example, in Budapest, Zurich or Stuttgart). At the same time, the Swiss rack railways are profitable. In the territory of Russia, there are no rack railways. This despite the fact that in Russia there are also many mountain territories (≈ 33 %). And, as the author rightly points out, rack railways could promote their development and organization of activities that contribute to the development of the local community and the country as a whole.

On specific examples from the field of railway tourism, the issues of the formation of competencies among students in the field of Tourism training in the process of studying the special course “Man and his needs” on the basis of the Ural State University of Railway Transport are considered. Three key skills are identified that contribute to the professional identification of the needs of a modern tourist as an experienced, demanding client of Russian tourism enterprises, the urgent task of which (including within the framework of the import substitution policy) is the production of competitive products in the domestic consumer market. The allocation of these skills as basic for the formation of a professional culture of a specialist in the field of modern tourism is justified — a specialist capable of producing a successful (including financially) tourist product that is in demand among the consumer. Examples of specific tasks aimed at consolidating the necessary skills in the production of tourism products that meet high quality standards (primarily) domestic tourism are given.

Abstract:
Nowadays, transport systems efficiency plays a key role for communities’ liveability and economy, being in addition an important factor in the economic integration of countries. The purpose of the article is to develop multi-stage models of tourist activities for optimizing the development of operating companies. For the implementation of models, the authors evolved the relevant system of organizational-functional support for the development of railway tourism. The research will enable us to take into consideration risks when planning tourist routes by railway, determine the order of construction or start of routes, and assess their profitability. This will provide to earn the expected incomes of all interested parties in tourist activities for the specified period. The authors created economic-mathematical models of the discrete optimal planning of the railway tourism operations. This takes into account conditions of risks and cooperation, and allows to determine which sets of effective routes are the most profitable ones. The results of the realization of the developed models include the task of the succession of the tourist route introduction according to the present and future infrastructure, availability of the rolling stock, etc. In this, consideration is given to obtaining maximum profit from tourism businesses for every participant during an established period.

Abstract:
Purpose The high-speed rail network can lead to the transformation of the tourism industry, as well as the regional economy. In the present study, a reasonable method was developed to assess the contributions of high-speed rail network to the development of tourism and economy in a Chinese region known as the “1 + 8” city tourism circle. Design/methodology/approach The method proposed here combines not only tourism revenue but also regional economy in a MGM (1, n) gray model, and it studies the tourist and economic output of this tourism circle before and after the high-speed rail network’s construction using an advanced “with and without comparison” method. Findings By using this method, the accuracy of the prediction of the contribution rate of high-speed rail network is improved. We found that in the “1 + 8” city tourism circle, the high-speed rail network positively contributes to increase of the tourism arrival and tourism revenue. Furthermore, regional economy significantly grows under the impact of the high-speed rail network. Research limitations/implications The “1 + 8” city tourism circle is studied as a closed system in this paper, and the authors focus on the economic associations between the cities in the circle by ignoring the impact from outside this circle. This treatment means, simplifies and enables the feasibility of this study, but it virtually leads to the deviation of outcomes between this study and the practical. Practical implications For theoretical values, by studying a normal Chinese inland region, this study reconfirmed the positive impact of high-speed railway empirically. In the meantime, this study developed an improved method by introducing gray theory models to “with and without comparison” method to calculate the contribution of high-speed railway to the regional tourism and economy development. Such method simultaneously incorporates the indexes of regional tourism income and regional GDP simultaneously. It is direct and convenient as it can achieve accuracy requirements using only a small amount of data, and it reconciles more with reality by considering the interaction of the outcomes of tourism and economy. Social implications For practical values, using the proposed method, a direct and convenient calculation of the contributions of high-speed railway to many other regions can be achieved if the data of the outcomes of tourism and economy can be obtained. In such a way, the regions that really need high-speed railway to stimulate their development can be distinguished from regions whose high-speed railway is under blind construction. Thus, the government may take actions to reassess some uneconomic high-speed railway projects without discouraging the construction of high-speed railway in other regions. The authors believe that this is important not only for China but also for many other countries with high-speed railway projects. Originality/value This study develops a reasonable method of assessing the contribution of high-speed rail to regional tourism and economic development. Using this method, this study confirmed that high-speed rail indeed positively impacts the regional development.

Abstract:
Transportation is an important factor affecting the development of tourism economy. With the opening and operation of high-speed railway, tourism has become the highest priority and most direct beneficiary industry. This paper builds a coordination degree model and a coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) for examining the coordination degree of Xinjiang high-speed railway and tourism economy. Results reveal that Xinjiang's high-speed railway and tourism economy have transformed from a moderate imbalance to primary coordination, but it still needs to be improved. Finally, suggestions are made on how to promote the coordinated development of Xinjiang's high-speed railway and tourism economy.

Abstract:
Transportation is an integral par t of the tourism industry. It is largely due to the improvement of transportation that tourism has expanded. The impacts on the ecology, degradation of destination sites, tourist experience, and economy has called for a better management of this resource. Transportation can be divided into two parts. One is the mobility infrastructure such as railway and highway, connecting and sometimes dividing the tourism destination. And another is site infrastructure which is in the tourism destination and guides the tourists to explore the place. Few places are as globally significant as the Tibetan Plateau, writes Daniel J Miller. Understanding this means looking at the region from a holistic, ecological standpoint. It has huge biodiversity resource and stores a lot of ice on the mountain. Religious affect this area so that it can remain in the harmony of the people and the nature. The Qinghai-Tibet railway is built for the policy or economic reason after is construction finished in 1st of July, 2006. This transportation greatly changed this area. The tourists’ trend increases 30% in Qinghai and 40% in Tibet in 2007. The income of the tourism also increased. Then the conflict occurred, on the ecological aspect: the wildlife, the One is the stepping destroy by the tourist which may cause soil erosion or vegetation destroy. And the social aspect, tourism reform the local people’s life, increases their income but also challenges the line of their religious faith. The stations along the railway became my focus point. They were like the start point, we can see the government intention, and the economic opportunity. In the meanwhile, it could also be the pollution resource and damage beginning. We can’t just simply stop people from going there. Since the railway is just like a window, advertising the beautiful landscape. If the station can’t access, people will find another way to access, in an uncontrolled way. So it is also an opportunity for expressing a new definition of tourism. Education, love, ecotourism. To make the place love for the people, so that they will have the ownership, they want this landscape keeps forever, so that it be an eternity. My thesis is trying to reach a more sustainable way to develop tourism in this very sensitive area, to create a couple of well-designed station stops which does strict (no access) protection for these areas. My intention is to create a system that combines education and the exploration in tourism.

Abstract:
The number of single-family residences in the Nederlandsche Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg- Maatschappij (NZASM) heritage area, to the east of the Pretoria Train Station, has decreased over recent years. Due to the pressures of the Tshwane Compaction and Densification Strategy (2005) and the addition of high rise apartment blocks positioned between the houses, the area’s density is certain to increase further and the future of these heritage structures are in jeopardy. A fragmented urban environment has resulted, which is further emphasised by the discrepancy in scale and density of the built structures. The few remaining houses have been altered in varying degrees to suit the needs of their occupants, with no regard to their heritage value in most cases. An approach to maintain the cultural and historical value of the area would be to introduce a new function which would attract diverse visitors in a bid to regenerate the area. As a catalyst to generate interest, tourist interventions are proposed in and around selected houses, with the intention of stitching the fragmented urban fabric from the interior outwards. The vision for the site is to create the NZASM Tourist Precinct, with different amenities and accommodation options for tourists.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Urbanismo apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.
Em Portugal, cada vez mais se tem levantado questões de salvaguarda e conservação do Património construído. Num cenário actual de abandono e degradação, assistimos a perdas essenciais de elementos da nossa história. Assim acontece com o Património Ferroviário que se encontra desactivado. O seu abandono perceptível não esconde a estagnação que as regiões adjacentes tiveram como consequência. O caso da linha férrea do Douro, em parte desactivada, é um desses exemplos. Sem esta estrada de ferro, o Douro não seria o que é hoje, sendo a grande alavanca para o progresso desta região pobre, mas produtora de grandes riquezas. Nas suas origens, há mais de 150 anos, o comboio rasgou a Paisagem duriense e deixou marcas identitárias do trabalho árduo do Homem. No entanto, nos dias que correm, o seu traçado desactivado tem caído no esquecimento, sendo ignorada esta mais valia territorial que outrora conferia à linha do Douro um carácter internacional. Nesta investigação, pretende-se estudar o impacto da reactivação do troço abandonado entre Côa e Barca d’Alva. A proposta teve em consideração a fragmentação do território ao longo do traçado, elaborando uma estratégia para Barca d’Alva, a última estação ferroviária em terras portuguesas. A proposta de desenvolvimento redesenha este lugar, trazendo novos usos e vivências. Pretende responder às necessidades dos seus moradores e atrair novos públicos, apoiados pelo turismo rural cada vez mais presente no território duriense.
ABSTRACT: There is increasingly attention to issues related to preservation and conservation of built heritage in Portugal. Now facing a state of abandonment and degradation, we are witnessing significant losses of elements in our history. This is happening with our Railway Heritage which is today mostly deactivated. Its abandonment is notorious and does not let hide the consequent stagnation of adjacent regions. The railway in Douro, partly deactivated, is a representative example. Without this railway, Douro would never been what it is today. Transportation by train was the great booster for progress in this region, which was poor but became producer of great riches. During its origins, which date back more than 150 years, the train rushed through Douro’s landscape and left strong identity marks of its population’s hard work. However, nowadays, this deactivated route has fallen into oblivion, a crucial landmark which once gave Douro its international status is now ignored by most. This investigation seeks to study the impact caused by reactivating the abandoned section between Côa and Barca d’Alva. The proposal takes into account the fragmentation of the territory along the route, and points out a specific strategy for Barca d’Alva, the last railway station in Portuguese territory. The development proposal redesigns this place, bringing new uses and experiences. It aims to respond to its inhabitants needs at the same time as it attracts new public supported by rural tourism which is increasingly present in Douro’s territory.

The Quebec City festivals of 1927 and 1928 represent a unique instance of close collaboration between prominent figures in Canadian musical and cultural history, John Murray Gibbon and Marius Barbeau. Based on Anglocentric concerns for a unique Canadian identity and corresponding school of composition, the festivals served as points of contact between many artists and performers, including Juliette Gauthier and Florence Glenn. An analysis of specific performances at the CPR festivals and over the course of Glenn and Gauthier’s respective careers showcase how racialized attitudes towards Indigenous populations, and the static conceptualization of French-Canadian folk culture were navigated to perform “Canadian folksong.”

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa e caráter teórico-prático, alicerça-se nas técnicas de observação, entrevista (com base em história oral), análise de documentos e no referencial bibliográfico. O interacionismo simbólico reflete a postura teórica adotada, de valorização do ponto de vista do sujeito. Trabalha-se com as categorias: sustentabilidade, paisagem, patrimônio e comunidade. Seu desenvolvimento define-se na qualificação da paisagem cultural e do turismo sustentável. Tem-se como objeto de pesquisa as representações da comunidade local da vila ferroviária de Paranapiacaba com relação às transformações ocorridas relativas à patrimonialização e à menor influência da atividade ferroviária - e o envolvimento com o turismo na localidade. Em uma abordagem multidisciplinar, utilizam-se conceitos de diversas ciências - Geografia, Sociologia, Antropologia, Psicologia Social -, além de subsídios de estudos sobre Turismo. Como resultados, verificou-se que a comunidade participa da atividade turística desenvolvida em Paranapiacaba, entretanto, essa participação, atualmente, é marginal: dá-se, sobretudo, no nível operacional, não no patamar das decisões quanto aos rumos do setor. Em termos teóricos, propõe-se a aproximação do conceito de paisagem cultural aos estudos do turismo, no contexto da sustentabilidade socioambiental.
This theoretical-practical qualitative research was developed based on several techniques, such as observation, interviews (oral history), and documental analysis. The symbolic interactionism reflects the theoretical approach adopted in valuing the research subjects´ point of view. Categories analyzed were: sustainability, landscape, heritage and community. Its development was defined in the context of cultural landscape and sustainable tourism. The main focus of this thesis was on the representations of the local community of Paranapiacaba, a railway village, in relation to the transformations that have occurred, mainly related to the heritage and the declining influence of railroad activity, and their role in the tourism activity. In a multidisciplinary approach, concepts of several sciences - Geography, Sociology, Anthropology, Social Psychology were used, as well as studies in the tourism and leisure field. As a result, it was found that the local community participates in the activity, however, their participation is, mainly, at the operational level, not at the strategic decision-making level. In theoretical terms, this study suggests approaching the concept of cultural landscape in tourism studies, related to the context of social-environmental sustainability.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the images of landscapes and locations used by the Great Western Railway Company (GWR) in their advertising and publicity material from 1897 to 1947. It argues that the GWR made sophisticated use of such images and used landscape imagery as a way, not only to appeal to a wide and varied audience of tourists and potential travellers, but also to construct a deep historical context for the company; this historical context reinforced the company's authority and echoed their paternalistic management practices at the time. The research challenges the idea that the 'motoring pastoral' of the inter-war period and beyond was a unique phenomenon by demonstrating that the GWR' landscape imagery can be viewed as a 'railway pastoral'. Such a notion pre-dates the widespread introduction of the motor-car and influenced the imagery associated with motoring that was to become so popular from the 1920s on. It argues that the motoring pastoral owes a significant debt to the railway's picturing of landscapes that came before it. The thesis puts forward the concept of the 'tourist utopia' whereby landscapes and locations were portrayed in a highly idealised manner thus highlighting the difference between the experiences on offer to the tourist and the everyday world of work. The tourist utopia of the GWR was characterised by a marked heterogeneity insofar as several differing portrayals of landscapes such as rural, historical or technological, could co-exist within the same geographical location. Such heterogeneity, it is argued, reflects the marketing practice of market segmentation and demonstrates that the marketing of mobility in Great Britain was well developed in the years prior to 1914 and continued to develop during the inter-war period.

Segundo o Ministério do Turismo (2013), dentre os diversos tipos de turismo existentes no Brasil, muitos estão ligados diretamente à cultura do transporte ferroviário, utilizando o trem como meio de locomoção entre localidades e, também, como herança cultural. A preservação do transporte ferroviário de passageiros ocasiona ainda em ações para a revitalização de espaços e edificações históricas pois ambas se conectam em prol do resgate da memória passada, nos fazendo observar o presente e ajudando a planejar o futuro. Considerando a hipótese da ativação de uma linha férrea em uma determinada região, devemos prever quais os possíveis impactos que serão causados para garantir um desenvolvimento regional equilibrado, guiados pelas diretrizes básicas da sustentabilidade. A proposta deste trabalho visualiza a possibilidade de se implantar um trem turístico na região da Zona da Mata Mineira, na microrregião de Juiz de Fora, compreendendo as características socioeconômicas dos munícipios envolvidos na ativação de uma possível nova linha férrea. Prevê, ainda, os potenciais impactos socioeconômicos e ambientais na região, criando uma outra hipótese do quão multimodal uma estrutura ferroviária poderá se desenvolver a longo prazo. Através de uma revisão bibliográfica voltada para o setor ferroviário no Brasil, elucida-se o panorama atual das ferrovias no país bem como os atuais trens turísticos operantes. Em um segundo momento da pesquisa, o levantamento de dados socioeconômicos dos municípios envolvidos no recorte espacial da pesquisa e de que forma a cultura ferroviária atualmente se faz presente neles, ajudam a sugerir a rota do novo trem baseada, também, em conceitos urbanísticos aplicados, para que se consiga visualizar os possíveis impactos que podem ser causados na região.
According to the Ministry of Tourism (2013), among the various types of tourism in Brazil, many are directly linked to the culture of rail transportation, using the train as a means of locomotion between localities and also as cultural heritage. The preservation of rail transport also leads to actions for the revitalization of historical spaces and buildings because both connect in favor of the rescue of past memory, making us observe the present and helping to plan the future. Considering the hypothesis of the activation of a railway line in a given region, we must predict what possible impacts will be caused to ensure a balanced regional development, guided by the basic sustainability guidelines. This work intends to visualize the possibility of establishing a tourist train in the region of Zona da Mata Mineira, in the Juiz de Fora microregion, comprising the socioeconomic characteristics of the towns involved in the activation of a possible new railway line. It also foresees the potential socioeconomic and environmental impacts in the region, creating another hypothesis of how multimodal a railway structure could develop in the long term. Through a bibliographical review focused on the railroad sector in Brazil, the current panorama of the railways in the country as well as the current operant tourist trains are elucidated. In a second moment of the research, the socioeconomic data collection of the cities involved in the spatial analysis of the research and how the railway culture is currently present in them, help to suggest the route of the new train based, also, on urbanistic concepts applied, to be able to visualize the possible impacts that can be caused in the region.

Abstract:
Cette recherche porte sur la collection de guides de voyage Joanne qui fut célèbre pendant plusieurs décennies avant de devenir les guides Bleus en 1919. L’enjeu est de comprendre sa généalogie, son développement et sa transformation, en prenant en considération les espaces géographiques concernés : l’Europe du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle.Ce travail s’inscrit dans une démarche pluridisciplinaire : cette recherche est principalement historique, mais contient aussi une forte dimension géographique, tout en faisant souvent appel à l’histoire de l’art, l’archéologie, la littérature et l’histoire des techniques.Dans un premier temps, comme la collection des guides Joanne n’est pas née ex-nihilo, il faut comprendre pourquoi la Librairie Hachette a racheté en 1855 des guides portant le nom de Richard. Pour cela, il faut se plonger dans l’histoire des guides Reichard nés à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Il convient ensuite de saisir la généalogie des acquisitions de guides existants qui a abouti à la création de la Bibliothèque des chemins de fer, distribuée dans les kiosques de gares. Dans un second temps, l’histoire des guides-itinéraires à la couverture bleu de Prusse est retracée, en tenant compte des évolutions techniques de l’imprimerie et en les replaçant dans leur contexte historique et concurrentiel. En effet, cette abondante production française est comparée à celle de ses homologues anglais (Murray) et allemand (Baedeker), ces derniers présentant une menace commerciale avec leurs guides en français, mais aussi une émulation. Dans un troisième temps, sont présentées les séries dérivées des guides-itinéraires qui démontrent le perpétuel souci d’adaptation des guides Joanne à leur public et aux évolutions des manières de voyager liées aux développements des transports ferroviaire et automobile avant la rupture de la Première Guerre mondiale. La mutation qui aboutit à la naissance des guides Bleus est analysée. Cette recherche est clôturée par une synthèse sur les apports de ces guides, en les inscrivant dans leur contexte historique et dans celui de la naissance du tourisme qui devint de masse au milieu du XXe siècle
This study focuses on the “Joanne” series of guidebooks that acquired popularity several decades before it was renamed “Guides Bleus” in 1919. The aim of this work is to grasp the series’ genealogy, evolution and transformation throughout the geographical regions it dealt with, mostly 19th and early 20th century Europe. This thesis falls into a multidisciplinary approach: mainly a historical research, it also makes use of Geography as well as History of Art, Archaeology, Literature and History of techniques. As the Joanne guidebooks were not created ex nihilo, this thesis first delves into the context that pushed the editor Hachette, in 1855, to buy back a tourist guidebook series that was then called “Richard”. It is thus necessary to go back to the late 18th century and the appearance of the first "Reichard" guidebooks. It then analyses the first acquisition of guidebooks that resulted in the creation of the “Bibliothèque des chemins de fer” (Railway library), distributed in the kiosks of train stations. In its second part, this study aims to reconstruct the emergence of these guidebooks famous for their “Prussian blue” covers, taking into account technical evolutions of printing and overall competition in this domain. This brings about a comparison between the French production and its British and German counterparts, Murray and Baedeker. These series pose a serious commercial threat to the French guidebooks, but also represent a source of emulation. The third part of this work introduces the reader to the various derivatives of the Joanne series. They are seen as an example of how the guidebooks were adapted to change in travel practices and to the appearance of new forms of transport, rail and automobile, before the rupture of the First World War. The thesis hence studies the shift that brought about the “Guides Bleus”. The work ends with a synthesis of the role played by these guidebooks in their historical period as well as to the birth of mass tourism in the middle of the 20th century

Abstract:
This paper aims to present the role railway transport plays in European Union and in Romania. The importance of this mode of transport is shortly put to the reader forefronts, while at the same time there is presented its share in land transport market. Road transport has its advantages, but its market share cannot be motivated only by market considerations; there are other factors which put this type of transport on a predominant position. The advantages of rail transport are presented face-to-face with road transport especially for passengers’ transport, how railway transport can gain a greater share in land transport market, and how it can contribute to create the conditions of a more sustainable future.

Abstract:
There are two main reasons why people often choose to travel by car rather than by train. On the one hand, there is the transport of luggage, which many find too difficult. This is especially true when changing trains or travelling with children. Secondly, concern about the lack of mobility options at the holiday destination without a vehicle of one's own is a reason to prefer to go on holiday in one's own car. The paper refers to the easytravel project, an extensive research project in the Ötztal valley, a typical holiday region in Austria with a pronounced winter and summer tourism. The paper addresses the needs and concrete requirements of holidaymakers with regard to luggage transport and mobility offers in the holiday region and shows concrete measures how the willingness to travel by train can be improved.
