A Brief History of Tourism

The tourism is 2,000 years old. It started when rich people

of ancient Rome didn´t want to stay in the city during hot
summers. They took trips to the countryside and the coast.
People that lived in the countryside or the coast worked for
the Roman ‘tourists‘, they cooked for them or built new
houses for them. When Roman Empire ended, Roman
tourism stopped.

But it was in the eighteenth century when tourism became

popular. Rich people in Europe started to travel because of
health and culture. They visited spas and seaside towns and
they enjoyed fresh air. Rich English people liked to travel to
Italy. They studied Italian paintings, sculpture, and
architecture. They wanted to be cultural.

In the twentieth century a lot of Europeans got richer and

wanted to travel. Soon there were hotels almost
everywhere. In the 1960s, tourists started to travel by
plane because it was cheap, fast, and comfortable. People
discovered countries like Spain and France.

Today Spain, Italy, and France are still popular with

tourists. USA and exotic destinations attract a lot of people,
too. In these countries, travelers can find fashionable
resorts, comfortable hotels, and exciting theme parks. No
wonder tourists spend a lot of money.
