Abstract

Abstract The aim of the present book is to provide an overview of tourism evolution in the past, present and future. This book discusses significant travel, tourism and hospitality events while referring to tourism-related notions and theories that were developed throughout the history of tourism. Even so, its scope moves beyond a detailed historical account of facts and events that occurred in the past. In more detail, this book departs from a basic description of these events and theories. Instead, it attempts to bridge these with contemporary issues, challenges and concerns, so that readers may make mental associations of the tourism past with the present and future, consecutively feeding their scepticism, decisions and even the development of new theories. While studying the evolution of tourism, one must look at the past: that is, the history of tourism throughout the centuries. History helps us to understand the past, predict the future and help in creating it.
