From the Paper:

"Tourism: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Yesterday's Grand Visions

Of course, back in those days it was basically the upper, upper classes that had the time, the money, and the interest in travelling from one spot to another. The word "travel" by the way comes from the medieval English word "travail" which means suffering great hardship, and that is a very good description of travel in its earliest days. Much has been written about the journeys of Marco Polo, who until recently was considered the world's first tourist.
Celebrated in books, movies, musicals and television.."
