The interconnection of tourism and transport activity is present at all levels of development of society and economy. The occurrence of rail, then car and plane has led to the transformation of tourism from an individual into a mass phenomenon. The general economic expansion, the rise in living standards, and especially the rapid development of tourism in the 20th century, have had a significant impact on the overall transport system, and especially on change of means of transport. The sudden development of motor vehicles is the beginning of the The Second Transportation Revolution, and at the same time other revolutions in tourism.Tourism is the sector that records the highest growth in the world economy.The aim of this paper is to examine the analysis of interconnections and relations between transport and tourism industry. Tourism and transport are interconnected phenomena, where all major epochs in the development of transport becoming the turning points in the development of tourism. Transportation is an integral part of the tourism industry since it connects tourists with various tourist attractions. In most countries, the development of tourism depends on the development of the transportation system. The promotion and development of tourism depends directly on the development of the transport system (road, maritime, air, rail, river and PTT traffic), maintenance and construction of existing roads, construction and maintenance of railways and air traffic, as well as the construction of local airports and the improvement of flight operations.Serbia has relatively favorable natural and material conditions for the development of various types of traffic in accordance with the requirements of domestic and foreign tourists. Road traffic has a dual importance for tourism. First of all, it allows tourists to travel on vacation with certain advantages that consist of being able to go directly from home, at will, to choose the time of departure, the route and speed they will travel, and the choice of travel companions depends on them. One of the main reasons that led to massive use of cars for tourist purposes is their economic efficiency. The connection between tourism and transport is also evident in the fact that many roads that serve primarily for tourism are built. Air traffic has opened new destinations and tourist forms, such as long distance trips.
