Abstract
European travel patterns are different from those of the North-Americans and the Japanese. The main differences may be explained by geography (density and distribution of settlements), culture (Europe being in an intermediate position between the holistic approach of Japan and the individualistic culture of the American pioneers), and the domestic economic context (pricing policies, infrastructure investment) which in turn mirror the different cultures.
