Access to Tourist Destinations

DVRPC evaluates multimodal access to tourist destinations to enhance travel and tourism. Greater Philadelphia’s hospitality and tourism economy is a subset of the region’s large service economy and spans multiple economic sectors, including not only visitor attractions but also lodging, recreation, retail activity, food and beverage establishments, and performers. DVRPC staff convene tourism stakeholders to determine their needs in regards to transportation, accessibility, and suggested land use changes.
