To create and run a successful tourism business requires you to have industry-specific knowledge al information WHAT IS TOURISM? Tourism is the activities of people travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for leisure, business or other purposes for not more than one consecutive year THE HISTORY OF TOURISM: ANCIENT TIMES There are no selfies and no travel brochures to look back on, but we do know that people Did travel in ancient times. Historians have found records that provide an insight into the reasons that people travelled, and how this evolved into tourism THE EMPIRE ERA It is hard to know when simple travel turned into what we would define as tourism. As mentioned, the Empire Era (beginning with the Egyptians, including the Greeks and stretching unit the eventual form the Roman Empire) was influential in the development of travel and tourism. THE MIDDLE AGES AND THE RENAISSANCE ERA tourism- was pretty much nonexistent. It became dangerous after the fall of the Roman Empire. While there had been a commonality among nations, there were now autonomous areas thanks to a feudal system. Transport was fragmented; so was language and currency. This made travelling to somewhere different much more difficult than it had been. THE GRAND TOUR ERA Starting with the wealthiest in society, people travelled to learn. It was fashionable, and soon became a status symbol in its own way. Those who were coming of age would travel throughout Europe to see art, architecture, science and more in countries other than their own. Generally, the most visited places were France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Each 'Grand Tour' would last a couple of years. People would travel by carriage, and be accompanied by someone older to take care of them THE MOBILITY ERA Increased leisure time and more accessible travel meant that tourism boomed. Because less people were tied down to all-consuming jobs such as farm work and more had moved on to working in offices, jobs and factories, there was more free time available. The Mobility Era (1800-1944) was defined by an increase in travel to new locations both near and far. THE MODERN ERA The ability to move around and see new places was a start. Mass tourism continued to develop in the first half of the 20th century. George Westinghouse introduced the idea of paid leave from work, with a firm belief that allowing staff paid time off would be beneficial to productivity levels overall. This gave the working and middle classes in certain countries the time and money to fulfil their travel dreams - so the demand for tourism grew. THE POST-MODERN ERA Travel is still ever-changing, though. People no longer necessarily travel just for the sake of travel- they want an immersive experience, adventure and the chance to give back to the local community. TOURISM AS A GLOBALIZED SYSTEM Tourism is often seen as a global phenomenon with an almost incomprehensibly massive infrastructure. Its importance is evident from the fact that its influence thoroughly penetrates society, politics, culture and, above all, the economy. **Medical tourism** travel abroad to receive more affordable medical surgeries or treatments and look for higher quality standards or a better access to care in comparison to what they could get in their home country. **Wellness tourism** is voluntary travel to world-wide destinations for the purpose of promoting [health](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health) and [well-being](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellness_(alternative_medicine)) through physical, psychological, or spiritual activities.
