Multimodal transport corridors enable economies of scale within a
transportation system where modes are used in the most productive manner.
The globalisation of trade is largely dependent on transportation systems with
reliable transit times and costs. Exporters and logistics service providers must
re-evaluate their strategies for freight transportation as all modes and all
possible transfers between modes must be considered. With the development of
new modal and multimodal infrastructure in the region, Lao PDR has a
growing accessibility to the international market.
