Abstract
In Taiwan, domestic tourism is a major component of all tourism activity. This paper takes Taiwan's High Speed Rail (HSR), which was established in 2006, as an example to illustrate the influence of transportation improvement on domestic tourism. With the establishment of HSR, vast changes in the travel style of tourists have occurred, requiring changes in the operation of tourism-related businesses such as tour operators, travel agencies, domestic aviation, as well as in tourism destinations. The significant impacts of the transportation system on tourists' travel styles and tourism-related industries are illustrated.
