ABSTRACT As the California High-Speed Rail (HSR) project becomes reality, many communities involved in, or affected by, the California HSR project have considered how to connect the new HSR passenger services to local urban transportation systems - such as bus and light rail systems - and how they can take advantage of HSR accessibility and speed throughout the state. European and other overseas systems have decades of experience in forging connections between HSR and various transportation options.

  • High-Speed Railway and Tourism: Is There an Impact on Intermediate Cities? Evidence from Two Case Studies in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain)
    Journal of Urban and Regional Analysis, vol. VIII, 2, 2016, p. 133 - 158 HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY AND TOURISM: IS THERE AN IMPACT ON INTERMEDIATE CITIES? EVIDENCE FROM TWO CASE STUDIES IN CASTILLA-LA MANCHA (SPAIN) Carmen VÁZQUEZ VARELA, José M. MARTÍNEZ NAVARRO University of Castile-La Mancha, Spain Abstract: The expectations of cities served by High Speed Rail are numerous. Improvements in a destination’s accessibility could lead to an increase in transport demand and the revitalization of urban and business tourism. However, High Speed Rail services do not automatically affect the choice of destination even if they improve accessibility. Even so, they can improve visitation rates when tourist amenities are located near High Speed Rail stations becoming therefore easily accessible. The development of tourism is also influenced by the collective strategies of local stakeholders. Larger cities also appear able to leverage higher tourist volumes from the construction of High Speed Rail and most analyses to date have focused upon them. Thus we focus here on how the arrival of High Speed Rail services has impacted tourism on medium sized cities. Using a diachronic study of different socio-economic variables and tourist features, this article analyses the impact that the new rail infrastructure can have on tourism in two selected cases in Spain: Cuenca and Toledo. Key Words: high speed rail, tourism, urban development, Cuenca, Toledo Introduction Transportation and tourism are closely related economic activities. In fact, promoting transportation infrastructure and guaranteeing efficient mobility are usually seen as contributing to the development of tourism industry (Albalate and Fageda 2016). Amongst the multiple determinants of the attractiveness of a particular location from the point of view of tourism, accessibility usually ranks in the first two or three positions.
