LO1 Understanding structure and history of tourism sector1.1 Describing historical development in tourism sector The historical development of tourism sector is divided into four different periods. Ancient times:In the pre-historic era, people used to live in one particular place and they only travelled tosearch food or avoid danger. Then people started to travel for the purpose of trading with othercountries. In the Egyptian era, travelling for both entertainment and business started to develop.After Egyptians, the Persians worked for the improvements of the tourism sector. Then Both3
Romans and Greeks travelled to different places to explore various cultures. When RomanEmpire was collapsed, the roads became unsafe for the travellers. According to Karlsson andBryceson (2016, p.138), in the twelfth century, the roads became safe again as huge numbers ofpilgrims started travelling to some specific sites to show honour. In the seventeenth andeighteenth centuries, the practice of grand tour became popular. The concept was developed inFrance and people believed students' education was incomplete if they do not spend 1 to 3 yearstravelling various countries of Europe with their tutors. 1440-1479:During the time of World War II, many people started travelling in different countries. At thattime, business people started to travel in cars and people were also taking vacations with theirfamily members. Before 1950, the tourism sector was inconsistent and all of the hotels, travelagencies, tour operators worked separately. Therefore, post-war, factors such as money, time andinterest helped the development of tourism industry at that time. In 1945, the main developmentof tourism started and several changes occurred in the industry. In the mid-1950s, in the UK, touroperators' development began to change the nature of tourism industry (Shen et al. 2016, p.292).Therefore individual business actions transformed into integrated business activities. At thattime, hotels started to provide several other services along with accommodation. After 1950,various factors such as availability of time paid holidays, development of package tours helpedin widening the market of the holiday.1980 to present day:During 1980, various airlines offered full tourism services including medical services, holidays,hiring cars. In the 1990s, in the UK and other European countries, the growth of bigorganisations affected the tourism sector (Clausen and Gyimóthy, 2016, p.320). The sector of airtravel improved faster as many people started preferring the facility of air travel.The tourism sector plays a significant role in helping the economy of a country. Therefore, it isvery important for the UK to concentrate on the development and improvement of the tourismsector and making the next generation ready for getting involved in the business.4
