Abstract

Accessibility needs to be among the prime priorities of a destination. It is central to the spatial interactions that occur as part of people's movement for the purpose of visiting. According to van der Berg et al. (Urban tourism: Performance and strategies in Eight European cities. Ashgate, Aldershot, 1995), external accessibility as well as internal accessibility is critical to the attractiveness of tourist products. A destination's access and accessibility are not limited to reaching the destination from tourist-origin places. Instead, it has multiple dimensions. Every tourist attraction within a destination also needs access. Moreover, accessing accommodation and other tourism industries is also important.
