Therefore, this industry made different kind of developments so as toprovide improved services to the consumers that are explained below: Transport method: In the earlier time, tourists travelled by foot, riding horse andcarrier wagon. These forms of transport were uncomfortable for the customers as road wasnot constructed in a proper manner. In 15th Century, sprung coach was developed that madetravel experience pleasant. Further, in 18th century, turnpike roads was constructed thatenabled coaches to operate for a longer time duration. In 19th Century, public transport wasstarted that improved customer services.
