Description: A History of Modern tourism is the first book to trace the origins and evolution of this pursuit from earliest times to the present day. From a new understanding of aesthetics to scientific change, from the invention of steam power to the creation of aircraft, from an elite form of education to family car trips to see national 'shrines,' this book offers a sweeping and engaging overview of a fascinating story not yet widely known.
