OF TOURISM

4. The history of tourism begins with the
history of man – of man travelling on foot
in search of food and shelter from the
forces of nature or wild beasts.
Early travel was undertaken mainly for the
purpose of trade, waging wars and
conquering new lands
Travel for treatment at natural springs or
healing centers gained popularity in the
mid 17th century when doctors advocated
the healing powers of mineral water
Travel for leisure started in the 19th century
and tourism as a profession was born in
the beginning of that century.
