It is too short-sighted to just consider a uni-direction
influence from air transport as a driving factor of tourism.
Developments in tourism, especially new forms of tourism
and new destinations, also affected air transport by
influencing demand. The emergence of attractions such as
theme parks or the requirements of second home owners for
flexible travels to their secondary property have been
important in creating large and regular traffic streams that
in Europe are now supporting some low-cost carriers. New
forms of leisure breaks, like short vacations, visit friends and
relatives (Bieger and Laesser, 2001), have introduced the
need for greater flexibility in the transport system
