Precursors to Tourism

Sentence..[1]

Modern Tourism

[edit]

Modern Tourism emerged in the 1840s.[2]

Transport and Infrastructure

[edit]

Tourism, like many other things, was greatly affected by the industrial revolution, which made significant differences in transport infrastructure and the building of railways.[3] Earlier in the 19th century, travel was mostly done by ships, which was also dangerous because travel was affected by weather conditions, among other things, which, in many cases, made travel harder.[4] The development of the railway system was something that changed Victorian travel modernity by making it more affordable and accessible to people of all classes, and made travel easier than ever before.[5] Not only did it make travel more affordable, but also faster, which made the idea of distance shrink.[6] This also put forward the idea that the railways would guarantee peace and democracy between nations and make people more united both socially and spatially.[7] However, this was not the case as people were uncomfortable travelling in small compartments with unknown people, and had nothing to do on the trains.[8] It is also significant to note that being in such small places with unknown people raised many fears among the travelers of the time.[9] People had fears not only of the fast motion of trains along with the fear of catastrophe, but also of crime on board.[10] There were many instances of rape and sexual assault on young women that had a third-class ticket on board.[11] As the crime also took place on the railroads, it made it difficult to prosecute people committing a crime.[12] Because of this issue, safety precautions were taken by modifying the compartments, such as changing the exits and building pipeholes, and also obtaining women-only carriages.[13] Regardless, the railways were an innovation that made it possible for many women to travel by themselves than ever before.[14]
