Abstract:
One of the key elements of tourism activities is transportation. Transportation plays a
large role in the growth of tourism, and the interaction between the two is crucial.
Tourism is one of the world's fastest expanding economic industries, and has
experienced substantial expansion over the years. In order to assure connectivity to
tourist sites and to suggest changes to public transportation, the major goal of this
project is to identify key intervention areas. In a nation like India, the development of
the public transportation system with regard to tourism has not been studied in great
detail. The project's goal is to identify factors that could have an impact on tourists' use
of public transportation and increase efficiency by offering alternatives. A
questionnaire survey has been used to gather tourist perceptions of various attributes,
and an improved importance performance analysis using fuzzy c-means clustering will
be performed. This will undoubtedly suggest a strategy for enhancing a location's tourist
appeal using public transportation. These attributes’ primary intervention areas has
been noted, along with potential alternatives. Economic analysis has also been
performed to determine the cost and benefit of the suggested system. The tourism
industry places a lot of emphasis on transportation, which also serves as a major engine
for socioeconomic development. It not only makes it easier for tourists, but also will
help business travelers, those visiting friends and family, and people engaging in
educational and health tourism to get around. Through this research, the potential for
integrating the development of tourism and public transportation is being explored. We
can increase the overall tourism appeal of the locations by enhancing the connectivity
using public transportation for the various destinations.
