The Mexican transport system has a vital role to play in moving domestic and international tourists from their place of residence to, and around, their final destination. Transport is a key enabler of tourism. Addressing the challenge of better connecting tourists with destinations, and on to various attractions, is necessary if Mexico is to diversify its tourism offer and source markets, strengthen tourism in regional areas, and better spread the benefits. This chapter describes the interaction between transport and tourism policies and identifies opportunities to better align tourism and transport development. It also examines connectivity strategies to improve traveller mobility, handle travel flows and link hubs with destinations.
