Abstract
A study was commissioned by the Transport Department of The Scottish Executive to provide an overview of existing research into the travel behaviour of those visiting Scotland (UK) for leisure, recreation and business purposes. A review of the literature on modal choice was undertaken and evaluated from the perspective of a visitor to a destination. Visitor flows in Scotland were examined to identify spatial trends, travel behaviour and visitor type and visitor use of travel modes. The scope and limitations of transport supply for visitors were evaluated. Visitor experiences and perceptions of transport supply in Scotland were examined. Gaps in existing transport provision were identified and recommendations are given for future research.
