History: Wish You Were Here- A History of Holidays Through The Ages.
What did it feel like to be a holiday maker in the past? Originally holidays are just Holy Days and a chance to make merry but they didn’t involve you leaving home.
Travel for leisure really does not start until the 17th century with trips to a spa or seaside town for health reasons and to enjoy the social life. Later the Grand Tour is available for the wealthy. Change comes with the railways and cheap day trips, and in the 20th century paid holidays, seaside towns and holiday camps.
Over the last 50 years overseas holidays, have been within the reach of many but what do current environmental and social concerns mean for the future?
