The History of Tourism in Europe
The birth of modern tourism is rooted in the recent history of Europe. The emergence of middle and upper classes combined with holiday time incorporated into the workplace together fueled by the industrial revolution contributed greatly to the emergence of the industry. The terms tourist and tourism appeared less than a century ago and referred to people traveling for periods over a day at a time. Previous to the 19th century, tourism was primarily reserved for royalty and privileged families and was generally for cultural reasons. In this article, we shall see how important Britain is in the history of the industry.
Britain was the first country to
modernize through heavy industry. This led to leisure time and,
consequently, the leisure industry. People had time on their hands
travel to for cultural, climate and health pursuits. Gradually, the
working masses were able to plan for leisure like the business owning
class. The British began touring the rest of Europe eventually finding
and developing resorts to become popular destinations. This is rather
quaintly evident in the legacy of holiday resort names scattered about
Europe. The Promenade des Anglais of the French Riviera is the first and
best established resort with the esplanade bearing its name. Scattered
about Europe are hotels with names like the Hotel Bristol, the Hotel
Carlton or the Hotel Majestic and more. The English certainly are a
proud bunch, to say the least.
The British popularized many winter
sports both on island as well as abroad. In the middle 1800s, many
villages in Switzerland came under entrepreneurial attention to provide
ski resorts for the new leisure classes. Notable is the first packaged
winter vacation in 1903 to Adelboden in Switzerland. Many sports
including boxing, football, rugby became organized by the British. The
attraction to sports has never stopped growing worldwide and has always
been a reason to travel as a tourist for an event.
Comes in with the evolution of group travel and transportation. Rail has become the most popular way to visit the seasides and other countries. Technology has allowed larger numbers of people to make the most of her new found leisure time - the holiday. On July 5, 1841, the British founder of modern mass tourism, Thomas Cook, the first train hired to take a group of activists to move from Leicester to Loughborough about twenty miles away. See the potential for business development, has become the first tour operator and the rest is history.
