Karl Baedeker, who published the first successful travel book in 1827, was one of the innovators of modern mass tourism. The first group- and corporation-travel tours were inaugurated by the English firm Thomas Cook in 1840. In 1863 the first travel agency opened in Breslau, followed in 1869 by the founding of the German Alp Society, which opened up the Alps to tourism. 1821 - 1822 Romania Political Context January 1821–July 1822: revolution in Moldavia and Wallachia against the Phanariotes (Greek rulers imposed by the Ottoman Empire since the beginning of the 18th century) and for social and economic measures to improve the lives of the people.

He leant on the national brotherhoods and maintained mediaeval, feudal ways of life that eschewed Western technical innovations which he deemed to be dangerous. He nonetheless signed agreements with Portugal in 1823, England in 1824 and France in 1825, under pressure to change his position on account of the international situation.

  • As to Maintain the Al-Shami Pilgrimage Route of the Holy Sanctuaries of Islam in Mecca and Medina
    Timeline / Before 1800 to After 1930 / TRAVELLING Date Country Theme 1516 - 1916 Jordan Travelling The region enjoyed relative stability due to being the route of the hajj sharif (pilgrimage) caravans to Mecca. Sultans and governors took great care of the caravans. Khans, water installations and fortifications were built and maintained along the route and military patrols were formed to protect it. 1516 - 1916 Jordan Travelling Between 1516 and the mid-19th century the main interest of the Ottoman authorities in the territories of modern Jordan was to maintain the al-shami pilgrimage route of the holy sanctuaries of Islam in Mecca and Medina. To ensure the safety of the pilgrim caravans good relations were maintained with the local Bedouin tribes. An annual payment was paid by the state (khuwwa or surra) to their chiefs to facilitate the passage of the pilgrims or simply to leave them alone. During the 18th and 19th Germany Travelling centuries Travellers from Europe approached the notion of the Near East with dreams of a “holy world” and “treasuries of wisdom”. The European desire for the “Orient” arose partly as a result of the Enlightenment, which since the 1800s had already changed the public psyche, filtering down from the rationalism of intellectuals to the scientification of the public. In addition, the many wars of the period, especially the Napoleonic Wars, produced in the people nostalgia; a desire for distance, the unknown, and the halcyon days of the past. Romantic-era authors and philosophers, much disturbed by these very topics (e.g. Friedrich Schlegel), thus attempted to escape into something magical – the “Orient” seemed to them, and their readers, an ideal imaginary world.

  • UMA HISTÓRIA De MANUEL DE ARRIAGA
    1 UMA HISTÓRIA de MANUEL DE ARRIAGA MANUEL José DE ARRIAGA Brum da Silveira — advogado, professor, poeta, deputado —, ficou para a História como um dos políticos portugueses mais notáveis da transição do século XIX para o século XX, e da monarquia para a república, encarnando talvez o perfil mais puro de um republicano íntegro, desinteressado e totalmente devotado à causa pública. Foi o primeiro Presidente da República Portuguesa. De acordo com a informação documental disponível, Manuel de Arriaga nasceu na Horta a 8 de Julho de 1840. Porém, há quem defenda que terá nascido no Solar dos Arriagas, na Ilha do Pico, onde a família costumava passar os meses de Verão, e posteriormente baptizado e registado na Horta, residência habitual dos seus pais. Oriundo de uma família abastada e com tradições na política e na vida militar — o pai era o administrador do morgadio familiar, o avô paterno um general que se distinguira nas campanhas da Guerra Peninsular, e um tio-avô fora deputado às Cortes Constituintes de 1821-22 —, Manuel de Arriaga fez os estudos elementares na cidade natal, e em 1861 foi viver para Coimbra para frequentar o curso de Direito. Na Univer- sidade, onde foi aluno distinto, cedo começou a revelar-se como notável orador e interveniente activo nas lutas estudantis, sendo um dos subscritores do Manifesto dos Estudantes da Uni- versidade de Coimbra à Opinião Ilustrada do País, redigido e publicado por Antero de Quental. A sua adesão ao positivismo filosófico e a defesa dos ideais do republicanismo democrático valeram-lhe a rejeição da família, tendo sido deserdado pelo pai, que o proibiu de voltar a casa.

Nesta cidade conviveu com Antero de Quental e fez parte da Sociedade do Raio, uma organização estudantil que lutava pela reforma do ensino universitário. Em 1862, foi um dos 315 signatários do Manifesto dos Estudantes da Universidade de Coimbra à Opinião Ilustrada. Neste período aderiu às ideias republicanas e incompatibilizou-se com o pai, monárquico. O corte de relações significou o fim do apoio financeiro paterno e Manuel de Arriaga viu-se obrigado a dar aulas de inglês para poder sustentar os seus estudos. Apesar das dificuldades e da participação activa nos movimentos estudantis da época, Arriaga foi um dos melhores alunos do seu curso, tendo obtido o grau de bacharel em 1865 e a formatura em 1866. Entre 1866 e 1872, viveu em Lisboa. Na capital, integrou a equipa do jornal A República.

  • José De Arriaga Was Born in the City of Horta
    ARRIAGA, José de (Horta, 1848 – Lisbon, 1921) José de Arriaga was born in the city of Horta (Azores), in 1848, into an aristocratic family descended from Flemish, French and Basque stock, settled on the island of Faial over several generations. His parents lived comfortably, being owners of extensive entailed estates (see “Os Últimos Vínculos Arriaga Brum da Silveira e o Herdeiro Manuel de Arriaga”, in O Tempo de Manuel de Arriaga, 2004, p. 156). In 1861, José de Arriaga, then thirteen years old, moved to Coimbra with his student brother Manuel. Being eight years younger, he would start with preliminary studies before entering the Faculty of Law, in 1864, and finishing his course in 1869. In Coimbra in the 1860s the student community was discovering new cultural and political concerns which were behind activities with a large impact on public opinion, such as the student protests, organized in a secret society (the Sociedade do Raio [Thunderbolt Society]), in the university’s historic sala dos Capelos, against the orders of the Rector (1862), and the famous Questão Coimbrã (1865), a dispute over the status of Romanticism. It was in this atmosphere that José de Arriaga spent his adolescence and youth, under the tutelage of his older brother. Furthermore, Republican societies were mobilizing many students, such as Antero de Quental, José Falcão, Emídio Garcia, Teófilo Braga, Eça de Queiroz, Manuel de Arriaga, amongst others (see O Republicanismo em Portugal da Formação ao 5 de Outubro de 1910, vol. 1, 1991, p. 25). It was in this environment that José de Arriaga passed his adolescence and youth, under the guardianship of his older brother.

    NATIONAL PALACE OF BELÉM Classified as a national monument in 2007, Belém Palace became the seat of the presidency after 1910. With a history spanning more than five centuries, Belém Palace has served as the official residence of the President of the Republic since the election of the first President, Manuel de Arriaga. In the mid-sixteenth century, D. Manuel of Portugal, a figure of the Portuguese Renaissance, constructed the main building of the palace on land leased to monks from the Order of St. Jerome. In 1726, the property was acquired by King João V to serve as his holiday residence and remained in the royal family's possession until 1908. From then on, guardianship was entrusted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which used Belém Palace to host visiting foreign officials until the foundation of the Republic in 1910.

    1 A HISTORY of MANUEL DE ARRIAGA MANUEL José DE ARRIAGA Brum da Silveira — lawyer, teacher, poet, congressman —, became part of history as one of the most notorious Portuguese politicians of the 19th - 20th century transition and from the monarchy to the republic, assuming the purest profile of a republican who was honest, selfless and completely devoted to the public cause. He was the first President of the Portuguese Republic. According to the available documental information, Manuel de Arriaga was born in Horta on July 8th 1840. However, some defend that he might have been born in the Arriagas manor, on Pico Island, where his family used to spend the summer months and was later baptized and registered in Horta, his parents’ legal residence at the time. Born into a wealthy family with traditions in politics and military life — his father was the family primogeniture, his grandfather on his father’s side was a general who had distinguished in the Peninsular War, and a great-uncle had been a congressman to the Constituent Courts from 1821-22 —, Manuel de Arriaga had his elementary schooling in his hometown and, in 1861, moved to Coimbra to attend Law School. In University, where he was an honor student, he soon proved to be a speaker of note and actively intervened in student strug- gles, being a subscriber of University of Coimbra Students’ Manifesto to the Country’s Illustrated Opinion, written and published by Antero de Quental. His adhesion to philosophical positivism and the defense of democratic republican ideals got him rejected by his family having been disowned by his father, who banned him from coming home.
