Abstract

Regardless of the place or the activity, most likely one is surrounded by a certain kind of built environment using its various elements. From airports to train stations, trails to highways and canals to bridges, the built environment is critical for human mobility and is also a vital element of tourism. Furthermore, a city – as the most obvious expression of the built environment – provides various functions satisfying people’s basic needs, which, in principle, are similar for tourists and local inhabitants. Both sleep, eat and move. Therefore, both require and often share a specific built environment.
