Transportation for Development in OIC Member Countries: Implications for Trade and Tourism & Challenges for Landlocked Countries

Transportation is essential for development and an enabler of economic activity. It is also a mirror reflecting the level of economic development of a country. The relationship between transportation and economic development is broad, with the general idea being that transport infrastructures lead to economic development through various channels. However, the relationships between transport and economic development actually occur in two directions. On the one hand, there are linkages that can help explain how transport has an impact on economic activity. On the other hand, economic activity itself can drive and shape the demand for transport (in terms of quantity, type, location, and mode), thus stimulating, and influencing the outcomes of, a transport intervention.
