What are the classifications of waterway tourism transportation?

Water transport is a mode of transportation that uses ships, rafts, etc. as means of transportation to carry passengers along routes in oceans, rivers, lakes and other waters. Waterway tourism transportation includes inland waterway shipping, coastal shipping and ocean shipping. Advantages of waterway tourism transportation: From the perspective of transportation, it is economical (except luxury cruise ships) and comfortable; from the perspective of tourism, areas along rivers and coastal areas are often areas with rich and concentrated tourism resources, and people can sail while sailing While touring. This outstanding feature of integrating travel and tourism is unmatched by other modes of transportation. The disadvantage is that because the waterway is restricted by natural factors such as geographical direction and water regime, as well as ship speed restrictions, waterway tourism transportation is relatively poor in terms of transportation speed, punctuality, and continuity.
