  • The History of Tourism: Structures on the Path to Modernity by Ueli Gyr
    The History of Tourism: Structures on the Path to Modernity by Ueli Gyr Various academic disciplines have repeatedly sought to re-evaluate the significance of tourism. Globalised tourism's so- cio-economic place within the framework of the leisure and holidaying opportunities on offer today has attracted particu- lar attention. Such accounts often leave out the fact that this also has a history. The present article aims to overcome this shortcoming: it seeks to present an overview of the important structures, processes, types and trends of tourism against the background of historical developments. It deals with early forms of travel in the classical world and the Mid- dle Ages, as well as the precursors of modern tourism, Bildungsreisen ("educational journeys") and the middle-class culture of travel. It then examines the boom in mass tourism in the 19th century and the unique expansion of tourism in the 1960s characterised by new forms of holidaying and experience shaped by globalisation. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Tourism as a Globalised System 2. Early Forms of Travel and Types of Journey 3. Precursors of Modern Tourism 4. The Foundations of Modern Tourism 5. The Boom in Mass Tourism in the 19th Century 6. Holidaying Practices in the Interwar Period 7. The Expansion of Tourism and Globalisation 8. Appendix 1. Bibliography 2. Notes Citation Tourism as a Globalised 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. In- deed, this is the branch of the global economy with the most vigorous growth: the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) estimates that in 2007 it encompassed 903 million tourists who spent 625 billion US dollars.1 They thereby supported a global system with roughly 100 million employees in the modern leisure and experience industry.

Ciao a tutti and Benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast, where you go to the towns and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella italia. Each week your host Katy Clarke takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes of history, culture, wine, gelato, and, of course, a whole lot of pasta. If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there, you've come to the right place. Katy Buon giorno! Ciao! Hi everyone, It’s Katy here and today I am wondering whether you’ve ever done a Grand Tour of Italy? If you’re not sure what I am talking about then today’s episode will reveal all as we dive into a another trip report from one of our listeners. So what is a Grand Tour of Italy? Well this is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years to the 17th century when well to do English gentlemen and later American men and women would travel to Europe as a rite of passage on becoming an adult. While their trips took them to France and Greece they would spend most of their time exploring Italy - in particular Rome, Florence and Venice. Back in those days the trips would last months and involve deep exploration of the cities as part of a rounded education for the elite classes. As steam trains arrived in Europe in the 19th century, this opportunity opened up to the middle classes and is best described in EM Forster’s beautiful novel A Room with A View which just happens to be one of my favorite books of all time.
