AI Summary
This report provides an overview of the key historical developments in the travel and tourism sector, focusing on the period before 1945, from 1945 to 1979, and from 1980 to the present day. Before 1945, international travel was mainly enjoyed by the wealthy, and the Industrial Revolution had little impact on the tourism sector. From the 1950s, improvements were made in the industry, with transport, airlines, and railways catering to customer needs through package tours and paid holidays. By the 1980s, airlines offered various arrangements, including holidays, medical services, and car rentals. The formation and development in the UK during the 1990s significantly contributed to economic growth, with the tourism business playing an increasingly important role in global and economic development, enhancing education, and improving its position by expanding in niche tourist markets. The mid-1950s marked a shift from individual business activities to integrated activities within the tourism sector, with hotels offering comprehensive services and transport operators providing additional facilities to travelers.
