The expanding tourism industry is expected to drive the growth of the transportation infrastructure construction market in the coming years. The tourism industry includes the activities, services, and infrastructure that enable travel and leisure experiences for individuals visiting locations outside their usual surroundings. Its growth is supported by rising disposable incomes, greater accessibility to travel, and a growing desire for cultural exploration and leisure activities. Tourism destinations require well-developed road networks to ensure access to attractions, accommodations, and essential amenities. As a result, governments and transportation authorities invest in building and upgrading roads and highways to support tourism, improve connectivity between destinations, and stimulate economic development in tourist regions. For example, in August 2025, according to the World Tourism Forum Institute (WTFI), a UK-based think tank and non-governmental organization, Australia recorded 8.4 million international arrivals in the 12 months ending May 2025, marking a 5.6% year-on-year increase. Therefore, the expanding tourism industry is contributing to the growth of the transportation infrastructure construction market.
