Abstract

The transport services industry is primarily engaged in the conveyance of goods and passengers either directly or indirectly. Direct involvement relates to the actual conveyance of goods and passengers, by various modes of transport. This edition of Statistics in Focus relates to the indirect involvement, services which are auxiliary to the direct transport services (NACE Rev. 1 activity 63, Supporting and auxiliary transport activities & activities of travel agencies), such as cargo handling and storage, operation of terminal facilities, freight forwarding, travel agency and tourist guide activities.
