TOURISM IN THE 19TH CENTURY

TWO TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EARLY PART OF


19TH CENTURY HAD THE GREAT EFFECT ON THE GROWTH OF
THE TOURISM.THSE WHERE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE
RAILWAYAND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STEAM POWER. THE
RAILROADS CREATED NOT ONLY MORE BUSINESS BY
PROVIDING RELAIBLE AND CHEAP TRANSPORTATION, BUT ALSO
MORE COMPETITION AS VARIUOS PRIVATE
COMPANIESINVESTED HEAVILY IN HOTELS, RESORTS, AND
ENTERTAINMENT FACILITIES.
Thus, tourism was transformed from a small business catering to the elite into
start of a mass market, that is, travel by a large number of individuals. by The
use of steam power provided the increased mobility needed tourism business.
Steamers on the major rivers provided reliable and inexper transportation that
led to the popular day-trip cruises and the growth of coastal res near large
industrial towns. As tourism became organized in the later years of the century,
the organization of travel became an established institution. Travel emerged.
The first and most famous of these was Thomas Cook. His first organi excur
similar excursions using chartered trains. In 1866, he organized his first
American t round-trip fare of one shilling. The success of this venture
encouraged him to arra train trip was between Leicester and Loughborough in
1841 with 570 passengers: In 1874, he introduced "circular notes" which were
accepted by banks, hotels, sho and restaurants. These were in effect the first
travelers' checks.
Other tour companies which appeared in Britain at this time
were Dean a Dawson in 1871, the Polytechnic Touring
Association in 1872, and Frames in 1881 the United States,
American Express was founded by Henry Wells and William Farg
As the 19th century drew to a close, photography and guide
books beca popular. A huge variety of guide books which dealt
with both local and overseas tra were sold to tourists. The most
popular of these was Baedecker, first published in 18 which
became the leading guide for European countries at the end of
the century.
TOURISM IN THE 20TH CENTURY

At the beginning of the 20th century, pleasure travel continued to


expan encouraged by the increasing wealth, curiosity, and outgoing
attitudes of the peop as well as the increasing ease of such
movement. World War I brought about many changes, which
influenced the volume tourism. Early post-war prosperity, coupled
with large-scale migration, boosted t demand for international travel.
Interest in foreign travel was further enhanced! the first-hand
experience of foreign countries. New forms of mass communicati
stimulated curiosity about other countries. In addition to the
influence of posters a the press, the cinema, radio, and television
widened knowledge and interest in trai
After World War I, forms of travel began to change radically. The
railways means of travel declined with the introduction of the motor
car. Motorized public transport and improved road conditions led to
the popularity of seaside tours. combatants not only to new
countries, but also to new continents, generating World War II also
led to increased interest in travel. The war had introduc friendships
and in interest in different cultures. Another outcome of war was th
progress in aircraft technology. Air travel had become more
comfortable, safer, faster, the Boeing 707 jets in 1958, the age of air
travel for the masses arrived, hastening and cheaper in comparison
with other forms of transport. With the introduction of the decline of
sea travel. Improvements in air transport not only encouraged greater
transcontinental travel, but were also instrumental in the growth of
international travel distant exotic islands closer and replacing week-
long sea voyages with a few hours of air travel.
After the post-war recovery years, there was an increase in private
car ownership. Travelers switched to the use of private cars and this
change affected both coach and rail services. The private car
provided flexible transportation which freed people from the
schedules and fixed routes of public transport. It encouraged the
growth of excursions and short-stay holidays. Resorts near major
centers of population benefited considerably. Road improvements
brought more distant resorts closer to the major cities. Resourceful
tour operators devised flexible packages aimed at the private
motorist at home and abroad. Hotels also devised their own
programs of short-stay holidays for the private motorist. The demand
for hired cars on holidays overseas also increased substantially.
The post-war economic recovery provided an increase in
discretionary income and leisure time, which many people converted
into increased recreation and travel. Due to labor negotiations and
social legislation, the length of official and paid holidays increased.
Governments have created more vacation time by incorporating
isolated public holidays into the familiar "long weekends" throughout
the year. By the 1970s, two vacations a year were a common
occurrence. The annual overseas holiday had become a necessity
rather than a luxury.
As business and trade prospered in the developed countries,
business travel also flourished, leading to the demand not only for
individual travel, but also for conference and incentive travel on a
worldwide scale. The 1970s have also seen the emergence of new
patterns in tourism. As economic power has shifted between
countries, new tourism-generating countries such as the oil-rich Arab
countries and Japan arose. Europe, as well as the developing tourist-
based economies of Asia, have benefited from this influx. The
Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia have
strengthened their tourist attractions to appeal to new markets.
Prospects for the continued growth of world tourism in the 20th
century appear to be the most promising. Societal trends are
favorable to the continued growth of demand. Governments of many
nations are encouraging the growth of both domestic and
international tourism as a means of job creation, economic
diversification, and source of foreign exchange. Beyond its economic
significance, there is a growing realization of the role of international
travel in promoting world peace and prosperity.
