Abstract
As current events are showing, tourism is vulnerable to any downturn in economic conditions. This study examines what happened during the depression in the early 1930s in Scotland, whose industrial sector was as hard hit as anywhere in the UK, and what effect prolonged unemployment had on firmly established patterns of holiday-taking. It reviews, using contemporary evidence, the experience of both sending communities and the receiving resorts, and examines changes in where people went, for how long, and their spend. It concludes that the habit of holidaymaking was remarkably resilient.
