Introduction to tourism
Travel, as an activity for people has a long history going back to the 18th century where the idea for travelling for leisure, education or health purposes had an outbreak with the rise of the "grand tour" in Europe, which was called "the age of enlightenment". In conclusion of this rise in demand for tourism European destinations started developing themselves to be able to answer the needs of the tourists with facilities. However as it was the first stages of this idea of travelling abroad for tourism, these travels only appealed to wealthy families that could afford these tours up until the introduction of the railways in the 19th century. With the railways, general public also started to consider seaside resort and limited domestic travelling, as people wanted to try newer destinations and be part of the trend. Therefore we can say the tourism we see today can be said that the roots of travel have officially started in the 1950s, 20th century with the United Nations world tourism organisation (UNWTO) Giving a definition for tourism.
