Link the tourist-generating area and the tourist destination area.
As the key element in the system as their effectiveness and characteristics shape the size and direction of tourist flows
It represents the location of the main transportation component of the tourist industry.
Spatial Interaction Between the Components of the Tourist System
Tourist flows tourist flows between regions is the fundamental to the geography of tourism between two areas with the destination area containing a surplus of a commodity (ex. tourist attraction) and the generating area having a deficit, or demand for that commodity.
The regular patterns of tourist flows, which do not occur randomly but follow certain rules and are influenced by a variety of push and pull factors.
