Tourist use of public transport at destinations - the case of Munich, Germany

This thesis examines how tourists use public transport at destinations. Using Munich as a case study it was found that the majority of tourists used public transport either as the main mode or in combination with other modes for travelling within and around the city. Several factors influence tourist mode choice, their motivations for use and satisfaction with the public transport services in Munich. The findings show that an efficient public transport system can support the dispersal of tourists at destinations and contribute to urban sustainable tourism development.
