This doctoral research aims to improve our understanding of indirect tourism transport, and to identify ways for improving its environmental sustainability while maintaining service for local tourism establishments. Current patterns of transport services for tourism establishments in the West Coast Region of New Zealand will be analysed and a model will be developed. Unsustainable transport practices within the delivery and service sectors will be identified and vehicle operational efficiency potentials within the logistics, driving, and route choice will subsequently be explored to identify opportunities for minimising impacts.
