Abstract

Abstract This chapter presents an account of 19th-century tourism development in Britain by revisiting Pimlott's (1947) The Englishman's Holiday: A Social History. In particular, the chapter looks at Pimlott's demand and supply model of tourism development, elucidating upon its key characteristics and its enduring (though far from obvious) contemporary relevance. A final concluding section speculates as to why (within the now expansive field of tourism studies) the dynamics of tourism development appears to be a much-neglected subject.
