The document traces the history and development of tourism from ancient Greek and Roman times to the modern era. It discusses how tourism evolved from early forms of travel for leisure among ruling classes to become a mass phenomenon in the 20th century with advances in transportation technology. Key developments included Thomas Cook organizing railway excursions in the 1800s, the introduction of passenger air travel in the mid-1900s, and individuals like Freddie Laker and Cesar Manrique pioneering more affordable air travel and sustainable tourism models.
